STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND OPPORTUNITIES
STRENGTHS:
• Route 23 serves a variety of strong anchors and key destinations, including the
Walmart on Baseline Road and the Pulaski Technical College South Campus.
• Ridership is relatively strong, ranking in the Top 10 of METRO bus routes on all service days.
WEAKNESSES:
• Service is infrequent.
• Location of the Pulaski Technical College South Campus along the I-30 service road requires
somewhat circuitous routing due to lack of arterial road access.
• Consider dropping frequency to 60 minutes to operate on clockface headways.
