Public Transit Inadequacy
Limited public transportation options with infrequent service, poor route coverage, and unreliable schedules that fail to serve low-income residents and reduce car dependency effectively.
Ways to address it
3 approaches- Bus Rapid Transit SystemDevelop bus rapid transit with dedicated lanes, level boarding, off-board fare payment, and frequent service to provide fast, reliable transit that rivals rail systems at lower cost and with greater route flexibility.
- Integrated Mobility Hub NetworkCreate multimodal transportation hubs connecting bus, rail, bike share, ride share, and pedestrian facilities with seamless transfers, unified payment systems, and complementary services like retail and charging stations.
- Transit Service Expansion and ImprovementIncrease bus frequency, extend service hours, add routes to underserved areas, and upgrade bus stops with real-time arrival information, weather protection, and improved accessibility features.
