NextGen Bus Plan

Explore the proposed Draft NextGen Bus Plan in full using interactive maps and detailed line-by-line descriptions. However, for your convenience, the following provides access to GIS shapefiles, PDF documents and other data that was utilized to create this interactive experience.

•  Bus Line Proposals : This PDF contains detailed line-by-line descriptions of the proposed changes.  Click here for Spanish .
•  NextGen Bus System : This zip file contains the GIS shapefiles for the proposed NextGen bus system. These shapefiles include geometries for all proposed bus routes, as well as route frequencies. The frequencies are categorized based on the different time periods within weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
•  Existing Bus System : This zip file contains the GIS shapefiles for the existing bus system. These shapefiles include geometries for all existing bus routes, as well as route frequencies. The frequencies are categorized based on the different time periods within weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
•  Metro’s Transit Service Policy (TSP) establishes criteria and guidelines to ensure that the transit system is developed and managed consistent with policy guidance approved by the Metro Board of Directors, including a formal process for evaluating services, service design guidelines, and a process for implementing service changes.
•  Transit Propensity Map: This map allows you to explore how likely people are to use transit in specific areas based on these characteristics. To do so, open the “Layers List” and select which layers you would like to view on the left-hand side of the screen.
•   Transit Propensity Score for Census Tracts in Los Angeles County
• Performance Indicators by Line Segment: The following PDF documents provide detailed line-by-line statistics regarding bus line performance by segment, including passenger boardings, revenue hours and revenue miles.
  •  Weekday Performance Indicators by Line Segment
  •  Weekend Performance Indicators by Line Segment
• Transit Equity Focused Areas : This zip file contains the GIS shapefiles for communities with the greatest mobility needs. NextGen goes beyond the Title VI requirements of not disparately impacting minority and disproportionately impacting low income populations by also considering impacts to zero car households, population aged 10-19 and 55+, single mothers, and persons with disabilities. All criteria were averaged to develop the equity score. Minorities, low income and zero car households were weighted twice as important as the other criteria to be consistent with the Metro Long Range Transportation Plan definition of Equity Focused Communities.
