In 1998, the Metropolitan Council and Metro Transit embarked on a program to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of transit service. The metro area was divided into nine geographic sectors for the purpose of comprehensively evaluating transit service and needs, determining market opportunities and restructuring service and facilities to better address those needs and opportunities. To date, transit service restructuring studies have been completed and implemented with successful results in Sectors 1, 2, and 7. For example, ridership in Sector 2 (northeast quadrant of St. Paul) grew by 6 percent comparing statistics from 2001 and 2002. The Sector 5 Final Plan presented here restructures transit service in south Minneapolis, Bloomington, Edina, Richfield and in an area of St. Paul south of I-94 and west of downtown. |
