• Opportunities to use smaller eco-friendly buses for local routes;
• Improvements to bus stops, including reviewing their location, to reduce traffic congestion as well as highway and pedestrian safety and also options to provide real time data;
• Developing options for the expansion of Metro parking which should include a
