GRTC, PlanRVA seek input for possible Pulse extension on West Broad
Table of Contents
GRTC and PlanRVA, the regional planning organization, are currently studying the possible extension of the Pulse Bus Rapid Transit line west, beyond its current terminus at Willow Lawn and west to Short Pump.
This expansion would connect residents of Henrico to jobs in the city and vice versa, as well as offer frequent service. While it may not need dedicated lanes yet, a Pulse extension to Short Pump that has signal priority (where the bus can hold a light green) and queue jumps (where the bus can go first ahead of the cars) would improve transportation availability for people trying to get around the region, according to GRTC officials.
Officials are seeking the public's input about this possibility. Citizens can access a survey at https://live.metroquestsurvey.com/?u=bi3r3y#!/?p=web&pm=dynamic&s=1 to register their priorities, travel behavior, and barriers to travel. The survey will be available until Dec. 16.
