FIVE Rapid Transit LINES

Rapid Transit lines would build upon the local bus service in key, heavily traveled corridors. Rapid Transit is intended to move large numbers of people quickly and efficiently to their destinations. To ensure fast travel, Rapid Transit utilizes features such as dedicated lanes or rails so that it is separated from traffic; takes advantage of signal priority or crossing gates at intersections; and can operate as frequently as every 5 minutes.

Rapid Transit vehicles stop less frequently than bus at modern stations located approximately every half mile apart. Transferring between lines would be easily accommodated where lines intersect and all stations would connect to local bus service.

Rapid Transit service can be provided by either light rail vehicles or bus rapid transit vehicles and could be implemented in the following corridors::
