Matt Taecker makes several references to BRT and transit:

“BRT, which is a lot like light rail, is projected to be

“Now the fact that the Hotel/Conference Center,
University Art Museum, and Bus Rapid Transit are
coming...”

"Transit is going to play a very key role, with Bus Rapid Transit and the BART station..."

“Put incentives for Eco-Pass in place.”

"One of the best ways to save energy in the future and to encourage walking and alternatives to the car is to capitalize on transit..."
