Strategic Plan
Chapter 2: A Pathway to the Future
Goal: Innovate to Improve Mobility, Complement Transit, and Advance Equity and Sustainability Implement and partner on innovative new services and products that complement and support transit and use public space equitably and efficiently. Innovations should support fair labor practices, include data-sharing and other accountability measures, and serve priority populations. Objective: Metro and partners adopt innovative services and products that complement and support transit and make efficient, equitable use of public spaces.
Technological advances have resulted in new mobility models that offer new, convenient, and flexible ways to get around. Examples include autonomous vehicles and e-hailing. They can complement transit by giving riders first- and last-mile connections to and from transit. They can also offer cost-effective ways to serve lowdensity areas. Other innovations allow real-time bus arrival information, provision of incentives to choose the most sustainable mode, and seamless trip planning using multiple modes. Metro will integrate innovative mobility services with transit equitably. The result: people can get where they need to go, when they need to get there, easily and safely. Intended outcome: Metro pilots and implements as part of its network innovative mobility services, products, and programs that improve regional mobility, complement transit, and advance safety, equity, and sustainability.
