A new effort is underway to provide more options for those commuting from Milwaukee to the surrounding suburbs by the spring of 2022.
The Regional Transit Leadership Council, a local group looking to address transportation challenges in southeastern Wisconsin, is developing a plan to bring last mile service to Brookfield, New Berlin, Franklin and Oak Creek. Currently about half the jobs in southeastern Wisconsin are outside of the reach of public transportation systems, and that presents challenges for people accessing those jobs, said Dave Steele, the council s executive director.
Public transportation options between the county and suburbs require transfers, and may take more than 90 minutes each way without connecting the commuter directly to their workplace.

BROOKFIELD, WI Milwaukee, Racine and Wauwatosa either have peeled back or will peel back mask rules for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in public spaces. These changes have been made since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changed its guidelines late last week.
According to the CDC, fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state or local laws. The CDC defines fully vaccinated as two weeks after a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or after a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
