The purpose of this project was to gather, inventory, and analyze all the thinking on future bus routes, networks, and operating patterns in Mercer County that has already been done, and consider the degree to which the services envisioned meet the needs of current and forecast county residents and workers under a series of longrange growth scenarios. Following an evaluation of policy considerations, US Census journey-to-work data, passenger survey data, ridership estimates, and significant stakeholder outreach, this plan suggests 10 bus routes as an early-action implementation phase. The shared vision articulated here for the future of bus service in Mercer County is intended as a roadmap for future investments to be made in a coordinated way.
