Greenlink at the Crossroads: Shaping the Future of Public Transit in Greenville County with Greenlink Director James Keel
Join us as we speak with James Keel, the Director of Greenlink, to explore the future of public transit in Greenville County. We discuss the Transit Development Plan (TDP) as we envision an ideal system with accessible, frequent, and intuitive service. It's not just about dreams; we also tackle the harsh realities of transit planning, driver recruitment, and the urgent need for funding to make it happen. By comparing how other cities fund their transit systems, we identify how our current funding model lacks in effectively supporting the service we need.
This episode provides an in-depth look at a system poised for growth, but in need of immediate action. Whether you're a daily rider or new to the world of public transit, this conversation is an eye-opener about the complexities, challenges, and opportunities that could redefine transportation in Greenville.
Join us next week, as the exploration continues with insights from Greenlink's Transit Planning Manager, Kayleigh Cleek.
