How will it work?
The experience of riding Silver Line is an evolutionary step from current bus ridership. First, Silver line vehicles will operate primarily in dedicated bus-only lanes, resulting in higher speeds and much shorter travel times between stations. Second, the Silver Line uses intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications such as transit signal priority, which allows BRT to travel through intersections more quickly than general traffic. Third, state-of-the-art technology reigns, with electronic payment to speed fare collection, real-time arrival travel information and advanced communication systems for faster and more convenient trips. Fourth, Silver Line vehicles are modern, clean, quiet, high-efficiency vehicles that use hybrid propulsion drive systems to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Two thirds (67%) of residents indicated they would either be willing (28%) or somewhat willing (39%) to use the Silver Line system instead of their automobile.
