The purpose of the Milwaukee Connector Study is to evaluate transit options for metropolitan Milwaukee. The study is being led by the Wisconsin Center District in partnership with the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC).

Representatives from each of the four study sponsors make up the study Steering Committee which is chaired by the MMAC. The study is funded through an existing grant from the Federal Transit Administration with local support from local foundations and in-kind services.

The Milwaukee Connector Steering Committee has modified the previous study area and recently directed the project study team to evaluate new transit corridors throughout Milwaukee County and focus on two vehicle technologies. The vehicle technologies under consideration are Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Streetcar. Once initiated, the roughly 12-month transit study will include
a review of routes, vehicles, stations or stops, cost and financing; governance, and potential impacts on parking, traffic, land use and pedestrian circulation.

Ongoing public involvement will occur throughout the study. Updates on progress will be provided with opportunities for the public to provide input, convey suggestions or raise concerns
