Title
Presentation of the Atomic City Transit Short-Range Transit Plan
Body
Aware of the importance of transportation issues, Los Alamos County has retained LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc., to prepare a 2022 Short-Range Transit Plan for Atomic City Transit that will span the next five years.
This study provides an opportunity to develop a plan that will tailor transit services to current and near-term future conditions in the study area.
The Short-Range Transit Plan presents the setting for transportation in Los Alamos County, including demographic factors, the recent operating history of public transit services, information on connecting services, the evaluation of service alternatives, capital alternatives, funding alternatives, and institutional alternatives, ultimately presenting a recommended course of action over the next five years.
The overall study affords the leaders and transportation providers of Los Alamos County the chance to take an in-depth look at the transit systems currently in place, identify the optimal manner in which transit can meet the public’s needs within Los Alamos County, and carefully identify where transit resources should be devoted over the plan period. In the end, the study will provide a “business plan,” based on public input, which can guide the regional transit program to best meet mobility needs utilizing available resources.
Council will be briefed on the consultant recommendations and staff will present their recommendations for Council consideration at a later date.
