TARC 2025 JCPS Draft Plan Written Description

Another option the Louisville community could consider is the JCPS Plan. The JCPS plan builds off of the Enhanced Plan network to provide morning and afternoon service to all JCPS high schools – magnet or otherwise. It would provide an additional option for parents and students throughout the school system as well as additional transit coverage to areas like Middletown and areas of southern Jefferson County that would not be served in the Limited or Enhanced plans. The JCPS plan would require some additional investment in order to implement, but much less than the Growth Plan.
