Lawrence Seeks Transit Growth Through Infill and Hub Plan
Lawrence officials push density within city bounds to concentrate commercial districts and shorten travel times while approving a roughly 230000 increase to MV Transportation for bus operations. A 10 year sales tax renews about 4 million annually, bolstering transit grants. KU ridership dominates, and city aims to boost nonstudent riders via route efficiency, yearlong K 12 passes, and walkable development to shift transit culture.
