What is the role of transit in handling travel needs in this corridor?
The study includes extensive computer modeling to determine how the existing roadway and proposed alternatives will handle the demand for travel in the corridor in the future. The future conditions regional traffic model assumes the Locally Preferred Alternative selected by the Transport 2020 study is constructed and operational. This alternative assumes a commuter rail system in the Madison area, with express bus service to outlying communities such as Stoughton. Even with a high level of transit service in the region, the problems identified in the Needs Assessment for this corridor will remain.
