• Fewer transfers traveling to and from Detroit

• Better coordinated transit services throughout the region

• Improved and expanded transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities

• New transit amenities, such as premium stations with off-board ticketing, next-bus information, and wifi.

BRT

EXP

Bus Rapid TransitBRT offers many of the same benefits and amenities of light rail, but at a lower cost. Dedicated lanes make it faster and more reliable than a typical bus. Premium stations, typically spaced one mile apart, feature amenities such as level boarding, off-board ticketing, next-bus information, and wifi.

Cross-County ConnectorCross-County Connectors will provide fast and frequent cross-county bus service to better connect the region.

Local BusNEW local bus services, and extensions of existing routes, will connect people to faster regional services.

StreetcarThe QLINE will connect downtown Detroit, Midtown, and New Center with modern streetcar service on Woodward Avenue.

Regional RailRegional Rail will connect Ann Arbor and Detroit with daily rail service.

Commuter ExpressCommuter Express is a weekday rush-hour express service betweenemployment centers to carry commuters to and from work.

Airport ExpressAirport Express is a premium limited-stop express service to Detroit Metropolitan Airport which would operate throughout the day.

Paratransit and Mobility Management (Not Shown)Paratransit services will be expanded to improve the mobility of those unable to utilize traditional transit and offer a consistent level of service throughoutthe region. New Mobility Management services will make it easier for everyone to understand their travel options and move throughout the region.

These new regional services will operate in addition to the existing transit service operated by AAATA, DDOT, the People Mover, and SMART.
