Subject: local transit missing from strategies
Comment:
I reviewing the transportation strategies, no mention is made of local bus service role in helping to reduce VMT and support compact development patterns. Mention is only made of connections to rail, but most transit trips are by bus. The move towards battery electric buses should make buses a stronger means of GHG reductions. Bottom line local bus services can play a big role in reducing VMT, particularly in compact growth areas. Investment in local buses should be part of the plan.
