Background:

SEMCOG is conducting the Woodward Avenue Rapid Transit Alternatives Analysis (AA) project to review rapid transit options for a 27-mile corridor along Woodward Avenue from downtown Detroit to downtown Pontiac. The AA process will take a comprehensive look at regional mobility needs in southeast Michigan and guide the alternatives discussion through a streamlined environmental review process. The Woodward corridor is the first of four corridors mentioned in the governor’s recent proposal for a new regional transit authority and bus rapid transit system for a 113-mile regional transit network. The AA phase will be completed in early 2014.
