Mass Transit - 31
Service & Reliability
SPENDING MORE TIME ON THE GO
All roadway modes average 13.9 mph
according to the APTA 2020 Fact Book.
Vanpool and commuter bus services
have the highest speeds, which can
be attributed to their longer-distanced
routes and fewer number of stops.
Agencies and the municipalities in which
they operate have been implementing
efforts including rush hour bus lanes and
traffic priority signals as methods to help
transit vehicles remain on the go and get
passengers to their destinations faster.

DEDICATED BUS lanes are
improving service times on
many systems including
New York City (above).
This past fall, the District Department
of Transportation made a pilot project
testing the effectiveness of high-visibility, bus-only lanes along H and I Streets,
NW during rush hour permanent.
Additionally, the city of Minneapolis and
Metro Transit launched the new Hennepin
bus lanes on Sept. 6. The bus lanes were
added to the three transit corridors to
improve service reliability. Lessons learned
from the new bus lanes will help inform
work on the Minneapolis Transportation
Action Plan, a 10-year plan to implement
the transportation visions outlined in the
Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
In New York, the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority's Select Bus
Service (SBS) improvements on the M14A
and D routes, which are augmented by New
York City Department of Transportation's
14th Street Transit and Truck Priority lanes,
attracted new ridership and improved service and reliability, according to the transit agency. Comparing September 2018
to September 2019, ridership on the M14
route jumped 15 percent and it also saw
ridership grow to approximately 31,000
following the implementation of the 14th
Street Transit and Truck Priority lanes.
