Akron Metro’s New Award. Monterey-Salinas Transit received a similar one.
Two of our recent successful bus network redesigns have helped lead to APTA Outstanding Public Transportation Agency awards! Congratulations to Akron METRO in Ohio and Monterey-Salinas Transit in California, both of which implemented our redesign plans in the last couple of years. (We also made MST’s public network map!)
We certainly don’t take credit for everything that those great agencies did to win those awards, but we did contribute something important: Network redesigns that increase ridership and align the service with current goals help to put transit agencies on a sound footing where they’re ready to make the case for the funding they need.
But please don’t think of us just for redesign. We also do visionary expansion plans that many agencies need now to create the excitement for new funding. Those plans aren’t just lines on the map; they’re stories about how the city will function better and its people will have better lives. We also do evaluations and workshops that help educate local elected officials and the public about the consequences of various transit improvement ideas. And we teach a very fun intensive course in network design (see here).
