The
Madison Area Transportation Planning Board (MPO), in cooperation with Metro
Transit and the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC), is leading a
study to explore where and how to implement Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the
Madison metropolitan area. The study is part of the Capital Region
Sustainable Communities (CRSC) Initiative led by CARPC.
Bus
Rapid Transit (BRT) is a high-frequency, limited-stop service that offers an
improved customer experience on busy transit corridors. Faster service is
accomplished by speeding passenger boarding, transit priority at traffic
signals, and express service. Station improvements, information technology, and
improved service reliability and vehicle comfort create a more user-friendly
experience.
Please
join planning staff and the consultant team at a public meeting on September 10, 2012
to learn more about BRT and provide your input on what the Madison metropolitan
area’s potential BRT system might look like.
