The Bay Area already has a growing express lane system and many express bus routes, but they are not operated as a coordinated network — nor are they supported with infrastructure like direct access ramps and freeway-adjacent bus stations that would allow for fast and reliable travel. This report proposes planning, institutional reforms, infrastructure coordination and policies to convert existing freeways into a central part of the region’s equity and climate solutions. SPUR recommends six broad actions to support the development and implementation of a coordinated regional express bus vision.
