BPAC hears draft CMSP recommending frequency over coverage and possible route changes

Sep 17, 2026

Staff presented a draft Comprehensive Mobility Services Plan recommending short‑term operational changes (stop consolidation, route hybridization) and long‑term aspirational network improvements; many members and public speakers pushed to prioritize frequency (10–12 minute headways) and equity in weighting community input.

The full story

Henry Phipps, transportation planner, summarized the Comprehensive Mobility Services Plan (CMSP), which lays out short‑term (3–5 year) constrained recommendations and an aspirational 20‑year network plan. The plan analyzes ridership, onboard surveys, stop activity, and over 1,000 community engagement touchpoints. Phipps said the short‑term focus is on reallocating existing fleet and operator resources for improved frequency, stop consolidation (Line 1), and route adjustments (including potential hybridization of Line 6/6R).
