Implementing the Vision
 |
| Community Transit Centers Connect to Regional Centers |
Implementing Vision 2020 will require community participation and cooperation among public agencies.
Community Transit Partnerships
The most effective local transit services are created through a working partnership of communities and transit providers.
Pace already works with more than 200 communities on the planning, design, and delivery of services. Pace envisions a broad and comprehensive program that links local needs, goals, and objectives and translates them into tailored service plans.
The success of a transit service in attracting riders, especially in a traditionally automobile-oriented suburban area, requires coordination of infrastructure, service, information, and travel demand. Pace will focus efforts on:
- Gaining consensus among the many stakeholders, communities, and organizations with interests in transportation and smart growth,
- Creating viable community and regional partnerships,
- Developing service plans for specific communities and groups of communities
There are three main types of studies, each involving outreach activities, that are part of Pace's plan:
- Community Transit Needs Assessment Studies
Pace will help communities define their transit needs and develop solutions for providing mobility. The solutions will be continuously monitored and adjusted to meet community transportation needs as effectively as possible while achieving maximum efficiency.
- Line-Haul Corridor Studies
For each of the more than 80 line-haul corridors identified, Pace will study travel patterns, identify activity centers, and develop service plans for line-haul bus services.
- Transportation Center Design Studies
For each of the more than 160 transportation centers identified, Pace will work with communities to design the most appropriate and efficient hubs for community-based and line-haul transit service.
