Comprehensive Approach
to Bus Service Improvement
• A Regional Priority Corridor
Network Plan will:
• Integrate service improvements,
including new MetroExtra routes
• Improve performance of all routes
in the corridor
• Coordinate stakeholder investments
in stops, roadway improvements
and safety/security strategies
• Implementation:
• Improves street operations to
improve travel times and reliability
• Manages fleet and garage needs
• Enhances customer information
• Focus on Priority Corridors:
• Benefits the most riders
• Improves service quality, reliability,
performance
• Builds transit market and influences
development patterns
3
Characteristics of Priority Bus Corridors
• Metrobus has 171 lines with
total daily ridership of
450,000
• Corridors represent 14% of
lines (50% of ridership)
• Recommended Priority
Corridor Plans serve:
• 220,000 current daily riders
• 70 million annual riders
• 246 line miles of service
• Corridors include:
•
•
•
•
Local Metrobus
Express Metrobus
MetroExtra (Rapid Bus)
Neighborhood Shuttles
• Proposals add 10 million
riders annually (+14%)

Benefits
• Benefits half of Metrobus riders within six-year time
frame
• Improves overall Metrobus customer service,
reliability, quality & performance
• Expands transit market and influences development
patterns in the region
• Coordinates investments in stops, roadway
improvements and safety/security strategies
6
Regional Policy Initiatives
• Adoption of policies by stakeholder jurisdictions
reflecting their role in transit provision:
– Prioritization of person throughput over vehicle throughput
– Mode-shift incentives on major arterials
– Adoption of “Transit First” policies
• Incorporation of bus transit implementation
requirements into plans for transportation and land-use
projects.
• Provision for strategic reservation of right-of-way and
maintenance facilities by local land use plans.
7
The TPB Role
The TPB can provide support of this Bus Priority Corridor Plan by:
•
Ensuring that related policy considerations are discussed in various
committees and forums available to the TPB:
– Regional Bus Subcommittee
– Management and Operations Intelligent Transportation Systems (MOITS) Task
Force
•
Exploring strategies for acquiring additional funding support for the capital
improvements included in the plan:
– Existing and future federal programs
– Regional pricing initiatives
•
Partnering with stakeholders in the region to develop implementation
strategies:
– This could include convening meetings of regional stakeholders to discuss policy
considerations and develop regional consensus on strategies needed to insure
success of the plan.
