In July 2022, Lextran completed a comprehensive operations analysis (COA) of its fixed-route, paratransit, and vanpool operations. A COA is a system-wide evaluation of a transit system that includes recommendations to improve service effectiveness and efficiency. Lextran’s 2022 COA outlined near-term and mid-term service alignments and projects for future consideration.

As the Town Branch Trail winds its way through Downtown Lexington, it will pass by the Downtown Transit Center. This immediate access will offer transit riders an easy way to get to the trail, or people on the trail, an easy way to get back home. This on-going project, coordinated in conjunction with Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG), began construction in early 2020 with improvements to the Transit Center platform. These improvements include additional seating and new screens with real time information about bus arrival and departure times. The Transit Center will be even easier to access with new pedestrian crosswalks added at either end of the platform.

The R.A.M.P. project includes improvements to bus stops along Lextran routes. These projects include adding sidewalk connections, benches, shelters, and other amenities that make catching the bus even better. Lextran was also glad to contribute to and partner with LexArts on the Book Bench project. Some of these book benches will be placed at bus stops.

Imagine New Circle is a study initiated by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) in partnership with the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (LAMPO), Lextran, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. It is part of the implementation of the 2018 Imagine Lexington Comprehensive Plan. You can find more information by visiting Imagine New Circle

Working with the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) Division of Planning, this study will look at the Nicholasville Road (US 27) corridor and how the places and activities there will change over time. Plans will then be made to better meet the needs of the community. These plans may include improvements to walking, biking, and using transit along with ways to make better use of unoccupied buildings or land, empty parking lots, or vacant store fronts.

From an early 2014 study, this analysis examined the possibility of a bus rapid transit project on Nicholasville Road. Bus rapid transit would mean improved travel time on Nicholasville Road using some combination of dedicated lanes or traffic signal priority for Lextran vehicles. Given the community’s preference to stay in their private cars, Lextran has not taken any formal action on this study. The new Corridor study may stir support for making changes on this busy roadway.
