Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP)
About the Project
The Bullhead Area Transit System (BATS) is updating its Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to identify opportunities to enhance transit service and strengthen connections throughout the community. As Bullhead City continues to grow, this study will help establish a vision for the future of public transportation and identify practical strategies to enhance mobility for residents, employees, students, and visitors.
Through data analysis, stakeholder collaboration, and public input, the study will evaluate how BATS is performing today and explore ways to better serve the community's transportation needs over the next five years and beyond.
What Will the SRTP do?
The SRTP will:
- Evaluate BATS' current performance and compare it to similar transit systems.
- Assess community transportation needs and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Develop short-term recommendations and a long-term vision for the future of transit in Bullhead City
- Identify strategies and investments that can improve mobility, access, and system effectiveness.
Planning Process
The SRTP will be developed through a six-step planning process designed to evaluate existing transit services, gather community input, and identify future recommendations.
Study Area
The study area includes Bullhead City and surrounding portions of Mohave County. While the focus of the study is on the existing BATS system, the plan will also evaluate opportunities for future transit expansion to support regional mobility needs.
