The purpose of the Riverview Corridor project is to provide transit service that enhances mobility and accessibility for residents, businesses and workers. It also supports economic opportunities within the project area, particularly in low-income neighborhoods. A Purpose and Need document was prepared during the first phase of the project and completed in 2017. The Policy Advisory Committee seeks input from residents, business owners and commuters along the corridor to find out if the need for improved mobility and access in the project area has changed since the document was published. A summary of the updated Riverview Corridor Purpose and Need document will be made available for public review and comment at RiverviewCorridor.com.
