StarMetro 2021 Major Update – Project Overview

What is it?

StarMetro has launched their 2021 Major Update, which includes two projects.

• Transit Development Plan (TDP) Major Update – While the TDP is a required document to receive funding from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), it also serves as a strategic planning document.
• Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) – The COA will take a deep dive into StarMetro’s existing service operations to identify ways to capitalize on system strengths and address weaknesses.

Together, these efforts will craft a short-term action plan to strengthen existing transit services and a longer-term strategy for system development over a 10-year planning horizon.

Is this taking place because of the COVID-19 pandemic?

No. This project was scheduled to take place before the COVID-19 pandemic impacted service.

What should we expect?

• Throughout 2021, StarMetro will invite the community to provide input during virtual meetings and respond to an online survey to “Design Your Own Transit System.”
• The project team will meet with stakeholders throughout this process, including the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency (CRTPA), FDOT, CareerSource Capital Region, and many others.
• Riders should expect an on-board survey to take place later this year.
