Planning, Budget, and Operations

Running test trains after system upgrades.

Planning for a Stronger Metro

Keeping our region moving is a massive 24/7 operation that requires significant annual investment. From the bus operators you see daily to the track inspectors and planners working behind the scenes, our budget ensures that every mile of track and every vehicle in our fleet meets rigorous safety standards.

Our Strategic Vision for the Future

Metro is guided by our strategic transformation plan: Your Metro, The Way Forward. Built on thousands of conversations with riders and stakeholders, this plan is rooted in our core values of safety, equity, and innovation. Through over 40 specific initiatives—from the Better Bus network redesign to modernizing station operations and building a zero-emissions fleet—we are not just maintaining the system we have; we are building a more sustainable, customer-centric Metro.
