System Redesign and Transit Revival in Madison with Justin Stuehrenberg
Manage episode 413011899 series 1918316
Justin Stuehrenberg GM of Madison Metro and his team used COVID as the impetus to finally put a long-planned system redesign into motion and completed it in June 2023. Since then they've seen a 15% increase in ridership. Justin and Paul talked about how his new network works, how geography figured into it, and the new bus rapid transit (BRT) lines coming soon that will use battery electric buses charged en route with overhead pantographs.
Also in this episode:
- Being part of city government--the good and bad
- Working with multiple city councils for approvals and funding
- Justin's path from designing airplane engines to transit engineering and planning.
Coming up next week...
It's episode 300! Yes, we're celebrating 300 episodes with the ThinkTransit CEO Roundtable, covering the most pressing issues in transit today with four of the industry’s most influential CEOs.
