RFTA's vision for the future
By 2017, our region will significantly reduce dependence on oil through a resource efficient, climate friendly, multimodal transportation system with a regional express line unimpeded by traffic and weather, competitive with the private vehicle in terms of convenience, travel time and quality.

the RFTA Board of Directors

What is the Regional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project?
The goal of this two-part project is to improve RFTA's operations and facilities to be faster, more convenient, and more comfortable. BRT combines the flexibility and cost savings of buses with the efficiency, speed, reliability, and amenities of rail.
RFTA hired a team of consultants to assist its management staff in defining the details of the BRT project. Input received from passengers, technical staff, elected officials and community residents in the region will help shape the project.
Project development steps/schedule
Some BRT elements, such as two new park & rides, are already in place. In addition, about half of RFTA's fleet will be composed of faster-boarding, low-floor buses by the end of 2007. Phased implementation will start in 2009 and be complete in 2017.
