About the Study
Developed to provide recommendations and a vision-based guide for the Franklin Transit Authority, the Study includes a 10-year plan for capital investments and recommendations for serving the transportation mobility needs of the population served by the Authority. The Study includes analysis of a variety of service delivery options and scenarios for consideration by the public, users of the system, and community stakeholders in selecting the preferred scenario. Analysis of costs and revenues along with ridership-based performance metrics are used to evaluate the performance and development of a fiscally constrained plan that includes strategies to address inter-regional travel needs, regional travel needs, and local travel needs alike. The Franklin Transit Authority has contracted outside consultant support from Benesch in partnership with Varallo Public Relations to provide these transportation planning services.
