RTA staff will monitor this new service and make adjustments as necessary. This is a complete bus system redesign that will provide greater frequency and connectivity throughout the RTA network. The resulting network comes from the feedback from the community which indicated that there was a desire to improve frequency but to continue serving all neighborhoods/communities RTA does today. During the study, several online and public engagement sessions were conducted. The redesign is a result of the 2019 Pillar Study that looked at the improvements RTA could make to the bus network. Why did RTA decide to change the way the bus system runs? When will the changes for NEXT GEN begin?
