Future Plans
A park and ride is planned at Bridge Street Town Centre, a mixed-use development in Cummings Research Park West, and will become a transit hub for the western part of the city. Other park-and-rides have been discussed, but no specific locations have been selected.
Routes to the following places have been planned/discussed for when funding becomes available:
- Huntsville International Airport
- Redstone Arsenal/Marshall Space Flight Center
Other long-range transit projects that have been discussed for the Huntsville area:
- A commuter rail line between Huntsville and Decatur, with stops in Madison and Research Park.
- A light rail line linking downtown Huntsville to Ditto Landing on the Tennessee River.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
