Abstract
Since the end of World War II, Westfield has lacked a comprehensive and effective public transportation system. This study proposes a new public transit framework aimed at delivering high-quality service to Westfield residents while enhancing regional connectivity by integrating local services with regional transit systems. The planning process involves analyzing land use patterns and identifying major trip origins and destinations, particularly to Westfield's key employment centers and two local colleges. The recommendations include establishing fixed-route services along the city’s primary transportation corridors, supplemented by paratransit options for low-density and underserved neighborhoods. Implementation strategies address the role of the regional transit authority, marketing approaches, and projected annual costs necessary for system operation and sustainability.
