Yonah Freemark of the Transport Politic blog site has posted his annual summary of transit projects slated to start service and start construction in 2017 for US, Canada, and Mexico. Other than the Second Avenue Subway Phase which opened on January 1, only a few new rail transit lines or extensions of note are projected to start service in 2017: Bay Area, Denver, Detroit M-1 streetcar/light rail, Charlotte Blue Line projects. Several BRT corridor projects that connect to Amtrak stations are also scheduled to open.
