Presentation/Discussion – Red Rock Corridor Update
Lyssa Leitner (Washington County and project manager for Red Rock)

• Provides a little history on the Red Rock Corridor and its original idea of using the existing rail track for commuter rail.  She notes that the idea has changed and explains the move over to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), what that is and how it works.  She notes that BRT would operate in addition to the current express bus routes but would be more convenient for more people than the current bus service, providing all-day service in both directions along the line.  She discusses the possible stops and how the system and implementation would work.
