The increasing suburbanization of metropolitan areas across the United States has prompted a remarkable revival of regional transit. For the first time in decades, several new commuter railroads have been introduced. States also are continuing a trend in sponsoring new intercity rail passenger services. Where either commuter rail or intercity rail is not appropriate, public transportation authorities have begun initiating new commuter or express bus and even Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) solutions. All these modes are aimed at one goal providing enhanced mobility by giving people meaningful choices of how to travel. This goal is at the heart of the Nebraska Transit Corridor Study. The study was sponsored by the Nebraska Transit and Rail Advisory Council (NTRAC), which was created by the State Legislature in 1999 to assess the transportation demand and needs of current and future commuters. Driving the study is the growth in commuter and intercity trips. Along with this growth is the need for enhanced mobility beyond what can be provided by more lanes for congested roadways. Accordingly, the purpose of this study has been to identify: New transit corridors between Nebraska cities; and the modal options appropriate for corridor conditions. The study has also sought to identify the new steps toward implementation for feasible transit options.
