Public Transit Planning

The purpose of this study is to evaluate mobility needs and opportunities in Fresno County and identify strategies for public transit and transit infrastructure development that will result in wider acceptance and use of public transit as a mobility option.

What is PTIS?

The Public Transportation Infrastructure Study is helping Fresno County find better ways to travel in the next 50 years – ways that will help reduce traffic congestion, slash harmful vehicle emissions and reduce urban sprawl. For detailed information and the final 2011 PTIS documents go to www.fasttrackfresnocounty.com. To ask questions about the study email us at: info@fasttrackfresnocounty.com

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT):

BRTs are sleek, modern vehicles that look more like a train than a bus. BRT stations are also modern, cool, and comfortable. As the BRT vehice rolls up to the station's boarding platform, all three double doors of the sixty-foot vehicle open simultaneously to allow fast boarding. BRTs travel a defined route in designated lanes created for them so the vehicle can travel the route as quickly as possible. Stops are infrequent and swift. Interested?
