The route changes planned for June will affect six existing routes, and create one new route. The $55 million transit project is the first of its kind in Milwaukee County, featuring elevated bus platforms allowing level boarding and new transit technologies like real-time bus arrival boards at stops, off-bus fare validators and Battery Electric Buses (BEBs). The nine-mile route is designed to provide faster, more efficient bus service through a mix of dedicated bus lanes, signal priority and fewer stops. Service along the new BRT begins June 4, running east and west between downtown Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center in Wauwatosa.
