Bus Rapid Transit: A Transportation Revolution at a Bargain Price

Issue Brief last updated May 27, 2009

Working with COMMUTE, a citywide coalition of community organizations working for transportation equity, the Pratt Center analyzed commuting patterns, the location of large employment centers, and existing bus routes to develop a proposal for a citywide bus rapid transit network. The Pratt Center's analysis has informed the New York City Department of Transportation's and MTA's current plans for rolling out bus rapid transit. This issue brief shows the COMMUTE/Pratt Center network proposal and highlights important issues commuters and community groups should pay attention to as DOT/MTA seek public input on their plans.
