PROJECT UPDATE WHAT IS A TRANSITWAY? “Transitways include bus and rail transit that enable fast, reliable travel times and an improved passenger experience on high-demand corridors in the region. Transitways help travelers avoid congestion by providing a dedicated right-of-way or other transit advantages such as ramp meter bypasses, signal priority or bus-only shoulders. Transitways link major employment centers and destinations in the region and promote transit- oriented development patterns.” (TPP, Chapter 7 “Transit”) 5

PROJECT UPDATE PROJECT PURPOSE The purpose of the Robert Street Transitway is to provide the necessary transit infrastructure and service to meet the long-term regional mobility and local accessibility needs between downtown St. Paul and areas within Dakota County. PROJECT NEED  Forecasted growth in travel demand  Limited transit service and time-efficient transit options  Needs of people who depend on transit  Roadway congestion and shift toward multimodal investments  Regional objectives for growth 6
