Our vision for the future provides increased transportation options for the Bryan/College Station (B/CS) area, opens the window for cost-efficient development opportunities, and allows for the preservation of the rural heritage of the Brazos Valley. The primary element of our vision involves establishing a light rail system in the community, enabling it to become multi-modal. The resulting increase in transportation options will decrease our dependency on oil, while at the same time increasing mobility. The community demands an improved, more progressive transportation system, with this plan we do meet that demand. Our vision of incorporating light rail into the B/CS area increases the opportunities for more desirable, cost-efficient development. New development would consist of transit-oriented development (TOD) that utilizes existing infrastructure of the city. This type of development increases citizens’ mobility, making it viable for both transit and non-motorized options.
