IMPROVING TRANSIT ON HIGH - TRAFFIC ROUTES <br />In 2012, Metro Transit completed a study of <br />ways to improve speed and customer experience <br />on 12 of its highest- ridership bus routes. <br />These are lines where transit demand is high, but <br />streets aren't wide enough to accommodate <br />light rail or a dedicated lane for buses. <br />Transit speeds on these routes are slowed down <br />by frequent stops and red lights. And customer <br />waiting facilities are limited. <br />Arterial bus rapid transit, or BRT, is a package of <br />transit enhancements that adds up to a faster <br />trip and an improved experience on Metro <br />Transit's busiest bus routes. <br />BRT would be up to 25 percent faster than local <br />bus service— without making major changes to <br />the street. <br />NEXT STOP: SNELLING AVENUE & FORD PARKWAY <br />Metro Transit is currently working to implement <br />the A Line on Snelling Avenue & Ford Parkway <br />for a late 2015 launch. <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br />Katie Roth, Project Manager <br />Metro Transit <br />BRT /Small Starts Project Office <br />BRTProjects @metrotransit.org <br />metrotransit.org /snelling -brt <br />Where will <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />arterial BRT be <br />tioyR <br />built first? <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />After the ALine <br />DESIGN <br />opens on Snelling & <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />Ford in late 2015, <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />one additional line is <br />PLANNING & DESIGN <br />planned to open each <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />year as the system is <br />PLANNING <br />built out. <br />PA, <br />HEIC <br />MINNEUPVLIS <br />0 <br />%46TH STREET E FORD PARKWAY <br />1�1y <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />m Q 3 m a <br />q LL L ` <br />V� O L C <br />C p O Y u <br />C Q O 0 <br />n N r 0 u LL <br />ttp L b u <br />Q Q <br />Q <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />z <br />a <br />z <br />z <br />N <br />94 <br />Clair <br />111 <br />Road B <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />DESIGN <br />DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />D Line (TED) <br />PLANNING <br />D Line (TED) <br />DESIGN <br />E Line (TED) <br />PLANNING <br />D Line (TED) <br />DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION <br />E Line (TED) <br />DESIGN <br />
