After months of study, deliberation, and community conversations, the Destination Medical Center Corporation (DMCC) Board approved a transit circular route along 2nd Street SW and Broadway, and approved bus rapid transit (BRT) as the mode of transportation. Included in the approval is a commitment to pursue affordable housing at the two transit villages that will mark the ends of the route. The Rochester City Council also approved the same key components.
The circulator will provide high quality downtown public transportation service for residents, commuters, businesses, patients, students and others to transit villages located in two locations on the northwest and southern edge of downtown. Destination Medical Center (DMC) and the City of Rochester began planning for the circulator to prepare the community for a growing number of downtown commuters.
