ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The RTA has funded $10 million for passenger facilities and amenities as part of the FTA RAISE FY21 grant. In order to program and define the development of those facilities RTA created a project plan called, Transfer Hubs Programming. This plan will develop typologies for the full set of transfer hubs around the city, apply those typologies to develop more detailed programming concepts for 5-8 different transfer hubs in the RTA network and support the completion of environmental documentation to ready these concepts for design and construction. The needs of riders, stakeholders near the hubs, and operators servicing the hubs will be part of this plan and will be developed in detail during the design phase. This is aligned with the Agency’s Strategic Mobility Plan-World Class Ridership goal.
