SUMMARY
The Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) is conducting an analysis of the East 14th Street/Mission and Fremont Boulevard corridor to develop multimodal improvements to provide more efficient transit service and close gaps in bike and pedestrian facilities. The purpose of the project is to improve mobility options in the corridor in a manner that supports existing communities and planned growth. The project team has identified conceptual near term, midterm and long-term improvements for future implementation. Two long term concepts Rapid Bus and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which have been developed based on detailed analysis, input from agency partners and feedback from study area stakeholders. Rapid bus is a high frequency, limited stop bus service, while BRT operates in their own exclusive lanes.
