What is the First and Last Mile?

First and Last Mile (FLM) is an essential concept for transit agencies. Improving access to and from transit for a wider breadth of people will ultimately lead to a better catchment for transit ridership. This includes providing better access to transit for multiple transportation modes, rather than focusing on one specific mode, such as car parking, and introducing new incentives and travel options to access transit.

Strategic Plan

The FLM Strategic Plan defined strategies and policies to improve multimodal transportation and connectivity to 世界杯比赛买球 services and facilities with the goal of making 世界杯比赛买球 more accessible to more people. The Plan aims to improve transit accessibility by empowering local jurisdictions, transportation management associations (TMAs), and other partners to understand the range of FLM solutions that are available and then apply those solutions to specific station areas. As FLM strategies and recommendations often span across jurisdictional boundaries, partnerships are key to implementation.
