Service proposals are here: Make your voice heard!
On November 1, the AC Transit Board of Directors will receive a presentation introducing three draft service plan scenarios that highlight separate alternatives for the bus routes and schedules that make up the AC Transit network. They are 1) the Balanced Coverage Scenario; 2) the Frequent Service Scenario; and 3) the Unconstrained Vision Scenario. Since early this year, as part of AC Transit Realign, we solicited, heard, and incorporated your input on your essential transit needs and priorities following two phases of public outreach. From what we heard, we established Equity, Reliability, and Frequency as guiding principles to shape the future of our transit network.
We want to hear your thoughts on these preliminary service scenarios. AC Transit Realign is a comprehensive review of our bus network to respond to shifts in riders' travel patterns. Each draft service scenario has been shaped by community input concerning crucial travel needs, and each scenario demonstrates how it will advance community mobility. We are seeking comments on the preliminary service scenarios between November 1 and December 13, 2023, to help inform the development of a single, preferred service plan for implementation in August 2024.
Thank you for helping us shape the future AC Transit’s bus network. Join us for upcoming AC Transit meetings/events and learn where to find us and more information. Stay connected at actransit.org/realign.
