Jeramey Jannene and Graham Kilmer report on an ongoing transit planning effort for the Milwaukee County Transit System, with support from Milwaukee County and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) :

The most recent North-South Transit Enhancement project recommends a bus rapid transit line for the corridor.
