SEPTA BUS REVOLUTION VIRTUAL TRANSIT TALK – THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd at 6:30 PM
Customers, Residents and Stakeholders are Invited to learn how SEPTA is Incorporating Public Input into Efforts to Improve Bus Network.
To kick off Year 2 of SEPTA’s ongoing comprehensive bus network redesign effort – Bus Revolution – SEPTA is inviting riders, stakeholders, and residents to a virtual Transit Talk on Thursday, February 3 at 6:30 PM to discuss findings in two reports that will be key to advancing the Authority’s efforts to revamp its bus service and better connect people across the region.
Those interested in attending the virtual session can register online at: https://us06web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_WReilADYTC2HajDm3V8wbw
The two reports – “The State of the System” and the “Market Analysis” – include extensive and detailed technical analyses of transit markets, ridership patterns, and service productivity that reveal what works in the bus network currently and opportunities for system improvement. Both reports aim to provide the public with an in-depth understanding of SEPTA’s current bus network.
The reports were informed by thousands of responses received throughout 2021 from members of the public through various forums. The feedback and data provides the information we need to make our bus network work better for more people.
The “State of the System” focuses on the bus network’s performance and presents some strategies for system-wide improvement. The “Market Analysis” looks at population demographics, patterns of development, and travel characteristics in the Greater Philadelphia area, and identifies those parts of the region where transit is likely to be most successful based on these factors. In addition, the “Market Analysis” identifies gaps in SEPTA’s service design that Bus Revolution should consider evaluating as the project team considers changes to the bus network.
More information on Bus Revolution – including route-level data on an interactive Map Inventory and Route Profile Data Dashboard – is available online at https://www.septabusrevolution.com/ . Bus Revolution is one of a number of exciting service initiatives SEPTA has underway as part of SEPTA Forward, the Authority’s Strategic Plan, intended to help riders use SEPTA as one seamless, lifestyle transit network.
