The MTS Board of Directors held a Public Hearing on July 20, 2017 to obtain public testimony on the proposals. The Board considered the input of 49 speakers and more than 200 comments received via email, mail and voicemails. Board members provided feedback and direction to staff on the various proposals.
Following the Public Hearing, MTS finalized the initial proposals into recommendations for changes to approximately 60 routes. These proposals were presented at the MTS Board of Directors meeting on September 21, 2017, and the MTS Board voted unanimously to accept the Transit Optimization Plan proposals, as specified below.
MTS will implement TOP changes in phases, beginning in January 2018.
