Creating a NEW Transit Vision for Memphis. We need your input!
Innovate Memphis and Memphis 3.0 are working to bring better transit to Memphis. Our Draft Transit Vision shows what is possible in the next four years with new investment and a redesign of our bus system.- 17,000 more jobs reachable in an hour by transit for the average Memphian — a 39% increase.
- 45% more jobs reachable in an hour for minority residents and 49% for low-income residents.
- 79,000 more people and 103,000 more jobs near frequent service (every 15 minutes).
- A new investment of $30 million per year in transit.
- New and redesigned bus routes that change how people connect across the city.
- New routes with more frequent service: that means less waiting and going further, faster.
- More weekend and evening service.
This project is being conducted by Innovate Memphis and the City of Memphis, in partnership with Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) and the Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), as part of the Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan. Technical support for the project comes from a consultant team led by Jarrett Walker + Associates.
