Innovation in Transit (Nova 2010)
Innovation in Transit (Nova 2010)
Nova2010 represents the next big innovation in Tallahassee transit. Since the StarMetro brand was born three years ago, we have successfully redeveloped services for FAMU, FSU and TCC, while introducing new service to previously unreached areas, such as SouthWood and Killearn. In addition, we have added rider amenities like wireless internet access, smart farebox technologies and larger shelters with more comfortable benches.
With Nova2010, StarMetro will reach the next stage of its evolution. By decentralizing the current route structure (See Proposed Nova 2010 Routes), Nova2010 will increase shuttle frequency at StarStops, reduce route redundancies and provide greater coverage around the city - catapulting StarMetro as a viable option for regional travel.
Nova 2010 intends to launch in the Fall of 2010.
Goals - The Nova 2010 Mission Objective.
- Reduce Downtown Transfers
- Reduce Redundancy
- Reduce Travel Time
- Reduce Carbon Footprint
- Increase On-Time Performance
- Increase Ridership
- Increase Frequency (less wait between buses)
- Increase Opportunities for Regional Travel
What Can Nova 2010 Do For You?
The new decentralized transit system allows you to get from point A to point B easier by locating transfer points across the city rather than at a single central location. Gone are the days of having to go downtown to transfer routes at C.K. Steele Plaza. This will allow quicker commutes as well as a higher frequency of buses arriving at your favorite StarMetro stops.Before Nova 2010 (centralized system) |
