The goal of the Transit Development Plan, is to examine METRO services that have been cut or reduced over the past decade; to look at current demographics and land use patterns to determine where new service and what type of service should be put in place; to identify efficiencies of the METRO SCAT service; and to examine possibilities for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the East and West Market Street corridors. This is the third round of meetings in the TDP process which began in November 2008. Nearly 50 individual interviews, 600 passenger surveys, 500 mailed resident surveys, and 60 business contacts were made. The final plan will be presented to METRO’s board for consideration in August.
METRO RTA is the public transportation provider for Summit County providing fixed route and paratransit service. In 2008, METRO transported more than 5.8 million passengers.
