NextGen Goals Through 2050
4
- Create a community vision for the future of public transportation
in central Ohio
- Prepare for future growth by identifying transit investments that
integrate with regional goals
- Support local and regional plans with transit investment options
(e.g. Connect ColumbUS and MORPC Metropolitan Transportation Plan)
- Identify conventional and creative funding options

Components of NextGen
- High Capacity Transit (HCT)
– Rail or bus-based improvements to improve capacity, speed and passenger amenities in corridors with high travel demand
- Transit Enhancements
– Improvements to existing bus service, including new destinations, later/earlier service, and more frequent service
- Smart Mobility Options
– Improvements to first/last mile access, accessible vehicles, and technologies to improve information, speed, and reliability

SLIDE 8
High Capacity Transit Corridor
- Moves more people than a typical bus
- Fewer stops, higher speeds, and more frequent service than
local bus service
- Can be either bus or rail-based
- Designed to be as congestion-proof as possible
- Features enhanced stations, new sidewalk connections, and
technology upgrades
- Connects with regular bus service
