    CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AGENDA SECTION WORK SESSION MEETING DATE APRIL 5, 2021 ITEM: BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) LINES DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen/April 1, 2021 CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below) X_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel _Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods _Equity and Affordability X_Strong Infrastructure/Public Services _Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population BACKGROUND: ‘NetworkNext’ is a 20-year plan initiated by Metro Transit for expanding and improving the bus network serving the metro area. Transit improvements under consideration include improved local and express routes, integrated shared mobility options, and new arterial bus rapid transit (BRT) lines. Bus rapid transit (BRT) provides an improved customer experience with frequent service and faster trips in our the Metro’s busiest bus corridors. Metro Transit first studied a dozen potential BRT lines in 2011-2012. This study led to the implementation of the METRO A Line in 2016 and the METRO C Line in 2019. Metro Transit has reported both lines have been very successful in increasing ridership and customers satisfaction. In 2020 and 2021, Metro Transit engaged the public to help identify the Metro’s next BRT priorities. Each step was based on four principles that guided the planning process for BRT, rooted in public engagement, Metropolitan Council transit policy, and the performance of the bus network: Advance equity and reduce regional racial disparities Build on success to grow ridership Design a network that supports a transit-oriented lifestyle Ensure the long-term sustainable growth of the bus network In February 2021, following months of analysis and community engagement, Metro Transit finalized recommendations for the next expansions in the BRT network: The METRO F Line will serve the Central Avenue corridor, modifying Route 10 from downtown Minneapolis to Northtown Mall via Central and University avenues.

  • East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results
    East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results About the Corridor The AECOM consultant team conducted a high-level analysis of commuter rail, light rail transit (LRT), streetcar and bus rapid transit (BRT) to determine the most appropriate mode for the East- West Corridor. Based on the corridor fit, ridership capacity, cost per mile to build/operate and available right-of-way, BRT will move forward for more detailed analysis. This fact sheet provides, in more detail, how BRT and LRT compared and why BRT was determined to be the best fit. BRT with LRT Screening Results Below are the similarities and differences between bus rapid transit (BRT) and light rail transit (LRT). Features Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Light Rail Transit (LRT) Service Frequency Frequent service during peak hrs. (5–15 min.) Frequent service during peak hrs. (5–15 min.) Typical Corridor Length 5–25 mi. 10–20 mi.
