Community Transit is actively seeking public feedback on its draft 2025-2030 Transit Development Plan, which emphasizes enhanced service reliability and accessibility. Proposed updates include improvements to bus stops, digital signage, and a transition towards a zero-emissions fleet with electric buses. The agency plans to expand its services with the introduction of the Swift Gold Line and increased frequency on existing routes. Feedback can be submitted through various channels, including an online survey, email, and social media, with a public hearing scheduled for July 3. Participants in the feedback process have the chance to win a $100 gift card, incentivizing community engagement.
