Changes to Community Transit’s service
Community Transit has two primary service changes yearly in March and August/September. Sometimes, riders may see changes to their bus schedules in June and December as we make adjustments to provide reliable service that meets riders’ needs.
Service changes can include changes to schedules, routes, stops, or the types of buses used. In addition, service changes are in response to changes in demand, funding, or the need to improve efficiency or effectiveness.

Public transit agencies often conduct extensive analysis and planning before implementing a service change. These activities can involve collecting and analyzing ridership, travel patterns, and demographics and consulting with stakeholders, such as community groups, transit advocates, and elected officials.
Agencies share service change plans with the public through various channels, including online announcements, news media, social media, printed materials, and outreach to community groups. The agency may also hold public hearings or meetings to solicit feedback on the proposed changes and adjust based on community input.
Overall, service changes are essential for public transit agencies to adapt to changing needs and improve the quality and accessibility of their services for their communities.
Community Transit shared previews of schedules and trip planning several weeks before a service change to enable riders to adjust their schedules and plan.
