Since 2021, METRO has been working on a plan to improve its bus network. The Draft Reimagined Network is a service plan for METRO’s fixed-route bus network that seeks to make transit more useful to more people, by expanding access to more destinations and opportunities.

It is designed to provide frequent and convenient service in busy places where many people need to travel to, while continuing to offer lifeline services in places where and for people for whom transit is essential.

In 2021 and 2022, METRO conducted two rounds of outreach with the public and stakeholders on the Reimagined Network, refining the design after each round.  Now, we are preparing to implement the first changes later this year, on June 4th.

Before we can start running any new services, we need to hear from you to finalize the details of the upcoming service change.

You can provide a comment on the entire plan, or on the details of specific changes to routes until March 1, 2023. Click here to take our survey or visit our website for more information on the new network.
