INVESTING IN ACCESS AND RACIAL EQUITY
More riders depend on transit along the 27th Street corridor for access to jobs, healthcare and education than most other corridors in the Milwaukee area. To meet the community’s modern mobility needs, the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) has begun the environmental review and design process to deploy bus rapid transit (BRT) service along the 27th Street corridor, the second route planned for Milwaukee County’s newest BRT system, CONNECT. The use of BRT in this corridor was recommended by the transit enhancement feasibility study completed in 2022. Outreach will continue to be an important aspect during this next phase of the project, with opportunities for the public to provide input.
