FLINT MASS TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY ROUTE CONFIGURATION STUDY
The Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA), a public transportation system incorporated by the Flint City Council (Michigan) in 1971, provides regularly scheduled, fixed-route fixed-schedule bus service, a special elderly and handicapped service, charter service, and limited demand responsive service in the Flint metropolitan area. The subject of this report is regularly scheduled weekday fixed-route fixed-schedule bus service. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the many changes made since 1971 and relate them to the entire system vis-a-vis current land use, employment patterns, and shopping areas. The study discusses existing conditions in the Flint area; provides a detailed system performance evaluation; identifies potential problem areas on a route specific basis; discusses four possible alternatives to alleviate problems identified; and evaluates three spearate headway options. Included in this report is a year-by-year implementation plan for the selected routing alternatives and recommendations on actions to be taken first as well as the year changes are to be implemented. The appendices contain route profiles and headways for each routing alternative.
