Reliable transit systems allow people to make life-changing decisions about where and how to live—confident that their decisions will remain valid over the long term. Reliable transit systems also re-enfranchise disadvantaged persons by offering them a way to be vibrant members of their immediate and extended communities.

Reliable transit:

• is consistent in transit routing.

• continues to operate at or above current service levels.

• avoids excess modifications to routing and scheduling.

• features high-frequency transit corridors with 24/7 service—including Sundays and holidays.

• uses transit signal priority to ensure the best chances of riders arriving at their final destinations on time.
