What is pre transit?

Pre-transit refers to the period of time leading up to the start of a public transportation service, such as a new bus route or train line. During this phase, transportation agencies and authorities will typically conduct feasibility studies, route planning, infrastructure development, and public outreach to prepare for the launch of the new service.

Key activities during the pre-transit phase may include:

1. Conducting market research to identify transportation needs and preferences of the community.
2. Developing route options and schedules based on ridership patterns and demand.
3. Securing funding for infrastructure development and operational costs.
4. Communicating with stakeholders, including local government officials, community organizations, and residents, to gather feedback and address concerns.
5. Conducting outreach and marketing campaigns to promote the new service and educate the public on how to use it effectively.
6. Training staff and drivers on operating procedures and customer service.

The pre-transit phase is crucial in ensuring that a new public transportation service is successful and meets the needs of the community. By thoroughly planning and preparing in advance, transportation agencies can help foster public support, increase ridership, and improve overall accessibility and mobility for residents.
