A Transit Master Plan or TMP is a comprehensive, 20-year plan that will guide the future development of The Rapid transit system, primarily for its current service area of East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids, Grandville, Kentwood, Walker and Wyoming.

The plan will also help The Rapid understand how our system stacks up against those of comparable cities, identify what we can learn from those systems, ways we can enhance our transit system and services, and how we can improve service, attract and retain riders, increase efficiencies, and lower costs based on peer best practices.

What Are Your Priorities? Take Our Survey...

Do you think there should be increased countywide service? More choices in transit? Extended service hours or more frequent service?

Since the Transit Master Plan launched, hundreds of people throughout The Rapid’s service area have attended workshops, emailed their ideas and voiced their opinions to Mobile Metro 2030 Task Force members about the future of transit in the greater Grand Rapids area. Now, you have the opportunity to rank your top five priorities of the ideas already submitted by the public, as well as add new ideas to the list. Take the survey.

The survey findings will be integrated in the Transit Master Plan report, available for public review and comment in spring 2010. The deadline for survey responses is Friday, April 16, 2010.
