Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Moves Toledo Forward
TARTA is conducting a Rapid Transit Corridor Study to determine where a high-performance transit corridor can deliver fast, safe, more reliable service and drive economic growth.
What is Rapid Transit?
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a premium bus service that blends high frequency, reliability, and the comfort of rail systems with the adaptability of conventional buses. As a transformative addition to our transportation network, Rapid Transit promises quicker service and shorter travel times for passengers.
Beyond mobility, BRT corridors can strengthen local communities and enhance safety and pedestrian access in the areas they serve.
Why is TARTA conducting a Rapid Transit Corridor Study?
With the passage of the sales tax in 2021, TARTA has positioned itself to reimagine and expand the public transit system to better serve the population of the Toledo and Lucas County area. TARTA launched the TARTA Next Plan. It took a comprehensive look at TARTA’s network. The Rapid Transit Corridor Study is an important step in helping TARTA achieve its goals.
How will this improve regional connectivity?
TARTA sees Rapid Transit as furthering the goal of providing regional connectivity by:
- Attracting new transit riders
- Helping Businesses expand their pool of potential employees
- Improving sidewalks and intersections, making these areas more pedestrian-friendly
- Reducing emissions
