Service changes may involve new schedules, route updates, stop adjustments, or different bus types. These updates help Community Transit respond to rider demand, funding levels, and the need to improve service efficiency and effectiveness.
How Service Changes are planned
Before making changes, public transit agencies like Community Transit analyze ridership data, travel patterns, and community demographics. They also work with community groups, transit advocates, and local officials to make sure changes meet the needs of the community.
Sharing plans with riders
Community Transit shares upcoming service change plans through outreach to local groups, online announcements, news articles, social media posts, and printed materials, all of which are also translated into Spanish and other languages on request.
Why Service Changes matter
Service changes help Community Transit keep up with changing community needs, making public transit more accessible and reliable. They also often include changes based on rider feedback.
Plan for Service Changes
Community Transit publishes new schedules and trip planning tools weeks before each change. This allows riders to adjust their travel plans. Riders should also sign up for Rider Alerts to get notified if your route is changing.
