Public transit is a vital component of any comprehensive Transportation System Plan (TSP), particularly in densely populated urban areas. Effective public transit systems reduce road congestion, improve air quality, and offer affordable transportation options for people of all income levels.
A TSP should focus on developing efficient public transit networks, including buses, trains, and subways, while also considering the integration of new transit technologies like on-demand shuttles and micro-mobility services such as e-scooters.
By improving access to public transit and ensuring it is reliable and affordable, cities can foster a more equitable, sustainable, and connected community.
