Service Changes, Reroutes and Uproots

Image
On Wednesday April 24, 2019 Metro Transit and its oversight committee the Transportation Commission held a public hearing on what has become an annual ritual of vetting a slew of service changes that do not involve a massive infusion of additional money. The aim is to have largely cost-neutral changes in place for the start of the next academic year, and the hearing in late April can be considered the public kick-off to the review process. Metro had previously compiled the proposed service changes into a file that can be viewed and downloaded at http://www.cityofmadison.com/metro/documents/packet-publichearing-augustservicechanges.pdf .  The hearing itself was captured both on video and audio by the City of Madison's media site . The Commission will deliberate on the proposals at its May 22, 2019 meeting. In the meantime, written comment can be sent to Metro Transit Public Hearing Feedback, 1245 E. Washington Ave., Suite 201, Madison WI 53703 or by emailing mymetrobus@cityof
