NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Hampton Roads Transit is exploring high-capacity transit options in Chesapeake.
High-capacity transit options could come in the form of an express bus, a light rail, or a bus rapid transit (BRT) line.
HRT and the city are evaluating the need for high-capacity transit service and which alternatives would best connect Chesapeake with the rest of the service area.
“HRT and the city of Chesapeake are exploring high-capacity transit alignment and technology options to improve Chesapeake’s transportation network to enhance the City’s mobility, economy, and growth plans,” said Chesapeake Mayor Rick West. “Improved connections would enhance regional accessibility for everyone, reduce congestion, and improve safety on parallel roadways.”
