Transit Planning

Planning for transit and paratransit services is an ongoing process. As our region changes, so must our transportation system.

Transit and paratransit planning is a process that works to identify the current and future needs of the community. It considers many different things, such as:
  • Communities and business centers that currently are served. Then, communities and business centers that are not receiving service or are being underserved.
  • Where are services provided? Are low-income and minority communities being served?
  • Are the systems accessible to people with disabilities?
  • How do these services interact with other transportation services and systems?
BMC staff provides demographic data, travel demand modeling and overall analysis to MTA and local transit agencies that focus on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of current systems, as well as identifying opportunities to increase service in the region.
