Public Outreach
The Steering Committee for the Future Of Regional Transit is very interested in hearing from citizens about what level of transit services are needed in the region, and what funding and governance structures are best to ensure those services will be available in both the near- and long-term.
Steering Committee member Susanne Whited also serves on the Passenger Advisory Committee (PAC) who advocates for ADA bus riders in the community.
