Weigh in on Bus Rapid Transit
Please, consider filling out the survey or attending one of the in-person meetings to share your thoughts on the project.
The city would like your input on the proposed Bus Rapid Transit route that’d take people from the Tohono T’adai transit center that’s next to Tucson Mall to the Ronstadt Center downtown. There are a couple of different routes under consideration. And yes, there’s yet another survey out to gather your input.This graphic shows the two routes being considered. One runs up Oracle and the other runs up Stone.
BRT is a high-capacity transit system that will improve travel time even beyond the current bus system. This area was chosen because of its already high ridership, and because there’s a significant level of investment already happening through the Thrive in the ‘05 project. That’s an Oracle Road revitalization effort. BRT will have dedicated bus lanes, high quality wait stations, advanced ticketing and signal priority for the coaches.Here’s a link for the survey - Comment/take the survey: https://www.tucsonrapidtransit.com/#commentAnd if you’d like to attend an in-person meeting to learn more about what’s being proposed, there are these three opportunities coming:- Tuesday, November 14 (in-person) | 5:30-7:30 p.m. | Donna R.
