February through April 2014An important stage of creating the new MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system will occur once construction is done, but before MAX is operational for public use: Testing and Training. During the Testing and Training Phase, the MAX system will look ready in the eyes of the public; however, many specific operational components will still be under development and configuration. Once in place, these components must be thoroughly tested. Additionally, Transfort Bus System must complete rigorous training to prepare approximately 40 bus operators for the new system. Understandably, the Testing and Training Phase will be confusing to the public, since the system will be constructed, stations will be completed and buses will be on the guideway. For this reason, the City of Fort Collins has outlined a plan for communications and outreach during the Testing and Training Phase.Before MAX can offer rides, many components must be tested and many people must be trained to ensure smooth operations.It’s all practice; public transit service at MAX stations and via the MAX route will not begin until May 2014.
