MCTS MOVE25 Route Feedback

MCTS is making our routes even better for you!

There are dozens of ways MCTS can make route changes while staying within our budget. Here’s your chance to tell us where you’d like to see improvements and what tradeoffs you’re willing to make to get to where you’re going. To view maps in more detail, click to enlarge.

Route 14

These options come from rider feedback. Riders asked for Route 14 to extend further west on Wisconsin Avenue. Below are a few options; as the route gets extended, buses will come less often.
Existing Route 14
Ends at Wisconsin & Cass
Bus comes every 15-20 minutes

Route 14-A
Extends to Wisconsin & 12th (Marquette)
Bus comes every 18-28 minutes

Route 14-B
Extends to Wisconsin & 16th (Marquette)
Bus comes every 23-35 minutes
14 - Which of these options best meets your travel needs?*

The existing Route 14 best meets my needs14-A (extended to 12th Street) best meets my needs14-B (extended to 16th Street) best meets my needsNone of these options work for me
Please share any additional thoughts you have on Route 14

Route 19-Downtown

This option would help address operational concerns from our drivers. They have told us, “Congestion, event detours on MLK between McKinley/Knapp and Kilbourn Avenue can lead to safety and operational concerns as well as confusion for riders."
Existing Route 19.
Bus travels on MLK Jr Drive, Kilbourn Ave, and 6th St.
Bus comes every 14-27 minutes

Route 19 on 6th Street.
Route 19 turns onto McKinley Ave then onto 6th Street.
Bus comes every 14-27 minutes.
19-Downtown - How would this change impact you?*

This would make my trip easierThis would have no impact on meThis would make my trip worse
Route 19-Oak Creek

This option would address scheduling and operational challenges. We could provide more consistent service on Route 19 plus the potential for additional service in Oak Creek by splitting the route
Existing Route 19.
Every bus travels on 13th Street to College Ave, low-frequency service south on 6th St to Drexel Town Square and Howell Ave to Puetz Rd.
Buses comes every 14 to 27 minutes on high-frequency section and every 45 minutes on low-frequency section

Route 19 and New Route.
Route 19 and New Route. Route 19 travels on 13th Street to College Ave, New Route replaces service south on 6th St to Drexel Town Square and Howell Ave to Puetz Rd.
Buses comes every 14-27 minutes on Route 19 and every 45 minutes on the new route.

Route 20

Ridership on Route 20 south of Layton is very low. MCTS could shorten Route 20 and shift those resources elsewhere. Here is what Route 20 could look like:
Existing Route 20
Continues south on 20th and ends at 27th and Sycamore (just south of College)
Two buses on route. Bus comes every 35 minutes

Reduced Route 20
Ends at 20th and Edgerton (Ronald Reagan High School, just south of Layton)
One bus on route. Bus comes every 55 minutes
20 - How would this proposed change impact you?*

I would be okay with this change if it means other routes in the area are betterThis change would not affect meI would not be able to make my trip with this change
Please share any additional thoughts you have on Route 20

Route 51

Ridership to Lake Drive is very low, and Route 51 has the lowest ridership of all high-frequency routes. This option would free up resources that could be used elsewhere.
Existing Route 51

Limited service (8 daily trips) to Lake Drive.

Reduced Route 51
Ends at Oklahoma and Delaware.
Buses comes every 15-27 minutes

These options come from rider feedback. Riders have told us they want Route 52 to serve more destinations on each end of the route. As the route extends, buses will come less often.

This option comes from rider feedback. Riders have told us, “MCTS should add service on Lake Drive and provide more connections to other routes.
Route 65
New route on Lake Drive extending from Oklahoma Avenue on the north to Kelly Senior Center (just north of College Ave) on the south.
Buses would come every 45 minutes

BlueLine and NEW Route 73
