Wilmington Transit Moving Forward

Introduction

As the largest city in the WILMAPCO region, Wilmington is a major job center, and efficient public transit is vital to maintain the fiscal health of the City, spur economic development, preserve air quality and improve community access to the most densely concentrated area in New Castle County.  However, the Downtown faces a number of transportation challenges including intersection conflicts, automobile and bus congestion, and impediments to nonmotorized mobility.

The focus of Wilmington Transit Moving Forward is to seek meaningful public input on public transit improvements within Downtown Wilmington. The project team will utilize this public effort in the Evaluation, Prioritization and Implementation of recommendations from the State Smart Transportation Initiative (SSTI) Study (summary below). This effort will result in a series of implementable recommendations for transit improvements that will have been vetted through comprehensive public outreach. Advisory Group Meetings with Downtown stakeholders and public workshops will be held throughout the process to ensure that these recommendations will have the necessary public outreach for consensus support. The outreach program will allow the project team to gather information from the public regarding their needs and concerns with the transportation system. At the completion of this study, a technical report will be prepared, to clearly document the outcomes.
