Why are these changes happening?

Community Transit has four service changes throughout the year: two larger service changes at the start of spring and fall, and two smaller service changes at the start of summer and winter.

These changes improve connections between buses, adjust schedules for actual travel times, and make Community Transit service more reliable.  In some cases, these changes are in response to rider comments and requests.
