Regional Transitway Guidelines

The Metropolitan Council is leading an effort to create and adopt Regional Transitway Guidelines for the development of corridors where intensive transit investment is planned, as identified in the region’s 2030 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). The guidelines will provide guidance for developing transitways in corridors that will be served by commuter rail, light rail and bus rapid transit.

The Guidelines will achieve the following goals:

• Establish technical best practices for transitway elements in the region, including fare collection systems, stations, public facilities and vehicles.
• Provide consistent practices for project partners to use in developing transitways.
• Serve as foundation to build on as other transitways are developed.

 

The public comment period on the Draft Regional Transitway Guidelines has ended. The Council will consider adoption of the draft guidelines in early 2012.
