I attended one of those listening sessions today upstairs and, as I
wasn’t informed that I was going to it until right before the session
started, was not prepared to comment. However, they are going to send
me
a
turn by turn description of each route so that I can look at it.
I hope this information is helpful to you.

*Subject:* [tabi] Star Metro Listening Sessions
*StarMetro to hold Final Listening Sessions on nova2010*** *Public
Input
Sought on Route Decentralization Project***
During the month of November, StarMetro will hold two final Listening
Sessions to garner customer input on its route decentralization project
titled Innovation in Transit or nova2010 for short.
Listening Sessions will take place on:
- November 6 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located at
300
South Adams Street, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- November 10 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located at
300
South Adams Street, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
The nova2010 project aims to take the current downtown oriented route
structure and break apart the structure to create a more grid-like
system
with routes running on main roads from north to south and east to west
with
many routes bypassing downtown’s C.K. Steele Plaza. This new structure
would
create many transfer points scattered throughout the city.
By traveling on major roads and eliminating route redundancies, a
decentralized StarMetro route structure would offer customers:
- Reductions in downtown transfers.
- Reductions in travel time.
- Reductions in carbon footprint.
- Increases in on-time performance.
- Increases in frequency (bus comes more often).
- Increases in regional travel opportunities.
“The ultimate goal of nova2010 is to create a transit system that better
meets the needs of customers – direct, fast, forward,” said Ron
Garrison,
executive director of StarMetro.
StarMetro plans to launch the new, grid-like system in fall 2010.
