Comments:

As of October 2016, PalmTran is engaged in a system redesign called Route Performance Maximization, that will investigate how to expand the span of service and the frequency of routes. PalmTran had Jarrett Walker, transit consultant and author of the book Human Transit, participate in the kickoff and early stages of the system redesign. It is anticipated that this project will take 18 to 24 months to complete.

It is anticipated that the redesigned PalmTran system will be integrated with the Brightline station in West Palm Beach.
