TARC 2025 Accessible Materials

Ridership Concept

This concept connects the busiest parts of the region with the best possible bus service (every 15 minutes or better). On average, more people can get to more places sooner with this concept, so ridership will be higher, but it doesn’t cover as many people. This concept assumes no additional operating revenues, so it has 50% less service than the Spring 2024 TARC network. 

Coverage Concept

This concept expands the network to cover more area, but because there are so many routes, frequencies are low. Ridership is lower because people may not want to wait as long. This concept assumes no additional operating revenues, so it has 50% less service than the Spring 2024 TARC network.

Growth Concept

This concept provides more service than the Spring 2024 TARC network. It combines both the frequency of the Ridership Concept and the additional places and neighborhoods served by the Coverage Concept. The additional service dramatically increases how many useful destinations an average resident can reach in a given amount of time, while also maintain and expanding coverage. It would likely need at least $50 million more annually to operate.
