Transit Development Plans (TDPs) help transit operators improve their efficiency and effectiveness by identifying the need and required resources for modifying and enhancing services provided to the general public. TDPs also help operators effectively execute the planning, funding, and implementation of public transit services. These plans provide a solid foundation for funding requests and feed directly into the programming process. To capture the benefit of this planning tool, DRPT requires that any public transit operator receiving state funding prepare, adopt, and submit a TDP.
DRPT has worked with transit operators across the Commonwealth to complete TDPs. DRPT has worked with transit operators across the Commonwealth to complete TDPs. Plans are completed every ten years with the option to update after five years.
Developing a TDP generates many benefits. The plan:
Transit agencies receiving state funding that do not serve an urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000 and that do not have a bus fleet of at least 20 buses.
TDPs must be adopted by the operator’s governing body. Agencies will meet annually with DRPT staff to discuss progress on implementing the TDP, and any proposed changes to the plan in preparation for the upcoming fiscal year.
