The Point: Make your voice heard and help improve public transportation
Public transit works best when it’s shaped by the people who use it every day – and that’s where you come in. Riverside County transit riders are invited to take part in two initiatives designed to gather ideas on how service can be improved.
In the Coachella Valley, SunLine Transit Agency has launched Rides Reimagined – an initiative to rethink its bus network across the growing Coachella Valley and better meet the region’s changing needs. With the feedback of the community, the plan aims to improve access to jobs, schools, healthcare, and everyday destinations while using resources more effectively and creating a more convenient transit experience. With ridership trends shifting in recent years, SunLine is asking residents to share their travel needs and priorities to help guide future service design, including how to balance frequent service in high-demand areas with broader geographic coverage. Take the online survey and share your feedback.
Riverside Transit Agency’s (RTA) Our Vision Forward project is a community-focused effort to shape the future of local bus service in western Riverside County. RTA is asking riders and residents to share their feedback on what would make transit better for their communities by submitting a comment at OurVisionForward@RiversideTransit.com. This input will inform improvements to routes, service quality, the overall transit experience, and help RTA develop a 10-year transit plan to guide service changes and prepare for future growth. RTA will be launching the next phase of the project soon with new ways to provide feedback and encourages residents to sign up for project updates to stay informed.
Whether you ride the bus daily or just occasionally, your first-hand experiences help transit agencies better understand what’s working, what’s not, and where changes can make the biggest difference.
