As a result of the pandemic, the RTC has received federal stimulus funding to restore and enhance essential public transit service. Our transit planning team has been hard at work outlining the proposed changes, which includes expanding the current service area, extending routes, increasing bus frequency, and introducing new routes and a new on-demand transit service.

But before we make any changes, we need to hear from you! Today is the first day of a 45-day public comment period where the community is invited to share feedback via a brief survey or at one of the public meetings through May 31. Survey respondents, in person or online, can receive a 24-hour transit pass, or enter for a chance to win a gift card in a weekly drawing.

The changes will provide more equitable access to the community through safe and reliable service to 185,000 valley residents who currently do not have access to transit, including more than 32,000 individuals who are living near or at the poverty level. These changes will also connect residents to 23,000 employment opportunities.

The proposed transit service changes were determined though On Board, our community’s long-term mobility plan. Through extensive community input, On Board helped identify how enhancements to the current bus system can improve future mobility and accessibility for our residents and visitors.
