WHY 27TH STREET
The 27th Street corridor is home to diverse communities across 18 miles and five cities. In fact, 118,000 people live within a ten-minute walk of the CONNECT 2 route. Bringing bus rapid transit (BRT) to this corridor will:
Strengthen one of MCTS’s most-used lines
Invest in our
communities of color
Link people to
jobs and essential services
This project is one way Milwaukee County is keeping the commitment to achieving racial equity and social justice made in 2019 when the County resolved to advocate for policies that improve health in communities of color. Learn more at the Milwaukee County Office of Equity.

"Public transportation is kind of like your blood system, your blood flow of the city. I feel like more people should be here talking about it, because regardless of if you ride or not, public transportation affects you."
