Implementing Pulse Service
Pace continually evaluates corridors and tracks planned developments to ensure that investments enhance the transit system.
As part of the planning process, Pace assesses Pulse funding needs and applies for state, federal, and/or local grants for implementing Pulse project phases. Typically, these funds are used to complete preliminary planning work, fulfill federally-mandated environmental review requirements, engineering, construction, vehicles, and operations. Given the level of investment associated with Pulse, Pace continues to look to local partners to support this program with transit-friendly infrastructure and development in order to maximize regional transportation dollars.
Further, Pace engineers can provide complementary technical reviews of preliminary transit infrastructure designs associated with new developments, roadway improvements, and other changes in land use and infrastructure. Pace encourages developers, municipalities, roadway officials, businesses, and others to contact Pace's transportation engineers at Transportation.Engineer@pacebus.com for assistance with planning and designing such improvements.
Support Pulse’s Success
Pace encourages roadway agencies, municipalities, and developers to incorporate Pace's Transit Supportive Guidelines. This document provides a range of solutions that support the operation of all Pace services. In 2024, Pace updated the document with a Pulse Addendum. The addendum illustrates and explains station types, bus priority treatments, roadway design conducive to Pulse, implementation needs such as utilities, and policies that partners such as municipalities can enact to make Pulse a success.
