Context and VisionPrepares the Town to meet mobility demand as the region continues to grow:
• Current system operates close to maximum capacity
• Proposed system provides a long-term, scalable solution available to residents and visitors of the community
• Connects to regional transit options
• Supports current and planned development in the corridor with a multi-modal system that serves cyclists, pedestrians and other users

Without BRT Investment in the North-South Corridor
• Transit trips will take up to 9 minutes longer – and will likely get worse as congestion increases
• Traffic congestion will increase – driving through the corridor will take longer
• Buses will become more crowded and less reliable as they’re stuck in traffic
• Additional parking spaces will be necessary throughout the corridor
• Development patterns will be less transit-supportive
