Northeast transit service review
Beginning on December 18, 2023, we're making some changes to bus routes to improve the transit service in northeast communities. These changes were informed partly by feedback gathered from the public earlier this year, and they will help us better meet your needs by bringing the bus closer to new communities, improving the hours of service, adding weekend service, and providing more frequent buses to more communities.
