MetroForward>>

Metro continues to prepare for an expected influx of thousands of new jobs and Dane County residents by the year 2050.

This expected growth will cause hundreds of thousands new roads trips, which if not addressed, will more than double travel times for everyone on the road and require adding two or more lanes to our main Isthmus roadways.

In addition, Metro remains committed to reducing its environmental impact on our community by taking big strides in converting its fleet to all-electric vehicles.

A number of new initiatives are set to release this year that will allow Metro to better serve the increasing transit demand in the community as well as improve the overall rider experience to encourage non-riders to give mass transit a try.

Launching in 2024

• Bus Rapid Transit
• Conversion of 1/3 fleet to larger all-electric vehicles
• Updated fare collection technology
• Updated trip planning and bus tracking technology

MetroForward>> Goals

MetroForward>> is a four-tiered approach to creating a high-quality regional transit system that has beneficial effects for all community residents.
