Burlington for Accessible Sustainable Transit 1. Plains Road - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Burlington for Accessible Sustainable Transit

• 1. Plains Road Corridor.

Increase the service on route 1 to 15-minute headways throughout the day. Express service, rte 101, should be in addition to this.

• 2. Community Bus.

BFAST not convinced that this option is better than improving service across the community to serve seniors better.

3. Orchard-Alton. Introduce Sunday service and extend Saturday service to 10:00 pm (or later) on Walker’s Line and the Orchard and Alton areas.

• 4. Employment Corridor.

Introduce a new route to provide transit service to the employment area bounded by Appleby Line, Harvester Road, Burloak Drive and Mainway, as recommended in Mike Spicer’s memo.

• 5. Vehicle Acquisition. BFAST

supports the acquisition of a 19- passenger cutaway bus and an MV-1 accessible mobility vehicle, as proposed in Mike Spicer’s

• memo. However, we believe these

should be included in the 2013 capital budget.

• !

• 7. Major routes. Increase

service on routes 2, 3 and 10 to 15-minute headways throughout the day on weekdays and Saturdays.

• 8. Handi-Vans. Purchase

additional Handi-Vans to reduce the need for the auxiliary taxi service and the taxi scripts program.
