Other considerations
/ Trains may have more appeal than buses
/ Bus rapid transit routes can adapt to changes in termini and can be tailored to demand
/ Local knowledge of bus operations, maintenance, and facilities
/ Need for a new or consolidated transit agency
/ Battery electric vehicles vs. traditional diesel vehicles
/ Lease vs. purchase considerations
/ Pop-up Metro faster implementation and removal
/ Bus rapid transit requires removal of tracks and potential for regulatory snags
MPO:
o.z.a
Next Steps
/ Determine the preferred approach to transit on the CRANDIC corridor
/ Coordinate with CRANDIC on the timing and approach to railroad abandonment (if necessary)
/ Determine regional consensus on agency to operate service
/ Identify preferred funding sources for operating costs
/ Prepare grant applications to advance design and construction
