Longer public transit buses allowed

March 3, 2016 admin Sen. Curt Friesen, LB735

Public transit systems can carry additional riders under a bill passed by lawmakers March 3.

LB735, introduced by Henderson Sen. Curt Friesen, increases the current 40-foot limit for an articulated bus operated by a transit authority to 65 feet. The bill will allow Omaha to adopt a rapid transit system beginning in fall 2018.

The bill passed on a 48-0 vote.
