The RTA's intent is for the final design of the new barges to be a "universal barge concept" capable of serving multiple locations. The Barges Replacement Project - Design Phase will complete the design component of the barge replacement project. This is aligned with the Agency's Strategic Mobility Plan-World-Class Rider Experience goal.
