Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) considering a new MICROTRANSIT SYSTEM.

Learn more about Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) ideas for a new MICROTRANSIT SYSTEM. Finn Vigeland explains microtransit & how it might work in Berkshire County. BPRC wants your feedback about where, when, how microtransit could operate in Berkshire County. Contact: Anuja Koirala — akoirala@berkshireplanning.org. 

Microtransit will not replace traditional bus service – it will provide trips within areas underserved by fixed-route service.

Here’s how microtransit works:

– Use an app to book your ride. Pick your start and end point anywhere in the service area.
– A vehicle will pick you up wherever you are and take you wherever you want to go in that same zone.
– Along your route, the vehicle may pick up other passengers on different trips.
