WHAT IS SYSTEM REDESIGN?

Redefining our approach to create a market driven transit system that serves our community by connecting people to where they want to go, when they want to go, in the most efficient manner possible.

HOW WILL WE ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL?

·        Reduce the number of large buses from downtown and enhance mobility by better utilizing the Skyway and promote the use of the trolley system to improve circulation.

·        Replace large buses in the neighborhoods and introduce smaller community shuttles with enhanced service serving both a fixed route and a more personalized demand-response feature.

·        Create satellite hubs throughout the region, offering better connectivity to destination points without the need to travel to a downtown transfer station.

·        Develop new Park-n-Ride facilities and additional express and high-frequency transit service  along major travel arteries.

·        Enter into more partnerships with employers, colleges and universities and neighborhoods and create specialized service for their markets. 

·        Improve passenger amenities through enhanced shelters, traveler information and schedules, new technologies such as transit signal priority and next bus arrival information, and introducing “green” vehicles and transit stations.

·         Plan and develop future transit systems to create a regional multi-modal transit network including commuter rail, rapid transit, waterborne, and streetcar.
