USVI Transit Connect: Comprehensive Planning Transit Study
Take Our Survey to help us improve VITRAN services or meet our team at August 13th-14th pop-up events.
USVI Transit Connect is a Comprehensive Planning Transit Study that will make recommendations to improve VITRAN bus, ferry, and paratransit services and its facilities, and potentially new services such as microtransit. The goal is to better align services with rider needs, improve overall mobility and provide opportunities to increase access to jobs and services. USVI Transit Connect will also consider traffic signal improvements.
About USVI Transit Connect
Study Tasks
Identification of Issues & Opportunities:
The study team will take stock of existing transit services across the islands — including buses, ferries, and paratransit — and compare them against where people actually need to go. This will reveal gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities to better match service with community needs.
Improvement Alternatives & Scenarios:
Drawing on community input and technical analysis, the study team will develop a range of potential improvements to transit service (from adjusted schedules and new routes to technology upgrades and better ferry connections) and package them into scenarios that represent different visions for the future of transit in the USVI. These scenarios will be shared with the public and stakeholders to help guide which changes should move forward.
Recommendations:
Using the public’s feedback, the scenarios and alternatives will be adjusted and narrowed down to a single final set of recommendations that fits within expected funding levels, providing a roadmap of achievable studies to improve transit service across the islands.
