Transit Improvement Strategies

Transit service can be provided in many different ways, and the most effective approaches match different service strategies with the demands of individual markets. Potential strategies to improve transit in Tarrant County are introduced below.
1.For each of the transit improvement strategies below, please tell us how strongly you feel that this strategy should be used to improve The T's services. Rate each strategy from 1 to 5, with 1 being a strategy that is not important to you at all and 5 being a strategy that is very important to you.
Importance of Strategy
Improve Existing Service
(more frequent service for longer hours, simplified service, faster service, better schedules)
Expand Service to New Areas
(match transit demand with supply, serving areas with high levels of current and future demand)
Develop a Frequent Service Network
(provide frequent service from early morning to late evening to key destinations)
Develop Premium Services
(could include commuter rail, light rail, BRT, rapid bus, freeway BRT, and streetcar)
Improve Express Service
(provide more frequent service, midday service, and reverse commute service)
Develop Transit Emphasis Corridors
(corridors with high volumes of transit service, where priority is given to transit)
Develop Outlying Transit Centers/Hubs
(create new hubs to make connections between local and regional services)
Implement Downtown/Core Area Shuttles
(circulators provide frequent service and encourage new riders)
Develop Regional Services
(connect cities and destinations across Tarrant County, develop new regional service types)
Implement Transit Priority to Make Service Faster
(exclusive or peak-period bus lanes, queue jump lanes, transit signal priority, use of freeway shoulders)
Provide Better Passenger Facilities
(high quality amenities at busy stops, hierarchy of stop types)
Improve Access to Transit
(first mile/last mile connections, pedestrian and bicycle access, park-and-rides, transit-oriented development)
Provide Better Information
(multiple types of information, real-time information)
Develop a System Rebranding Strategy
(rebrand The T's services, develop "family of services," create regional brand)
