On June 4, 2023, the MCTS unveiled Milwaukee's first electric BRT route, Connect 1. This route runs between downtown Milwaukee and Watertown Plank Park and Ride station. This BRT uses dedicated lanes along Wisconsin Avenue in order to provide faster bus service even if traffic gets busy. The BRT stations have shelter, seating, ticket machines, and raised platforms for faster and easier boarding.

The electric buses for Connect 1 are NovaBus LFSe+ units, though there are some diesel buses operating on the BRT, as not all LFSe+ units were delivered yet. These buses include modern amenities such as phone charging stations, accessible seating and real-time location displays, and offer a quieter and eco-friendlier ride.
