The City of Asheville Transit Master Planning process continues with a Jan 6 community workshop.
From 1 to 3 p.m. Jan. 6, come to the Lee Walker Heights Community Room, 50 Wilbar Ave., to provide your feedback to the City Transit Master Plan team.
Bus routes that provide access to this address include: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6.
The Transit Master Plan will shape how and where transit service will be provided by ART service. It’s designed to ensure safe, convenient and accessible public transportation for all residents, workers and visitors to the Asheville area.
Last developed in 2009 and adopted in 2010, an updated plan will provide measurable goals and detailed strategies for improving transit throughout the City. The plan will:
- Assess existing transit services;
- Review ART’s current operating environment;
- Evaluate current and future mobility needs; and
- Determine whether and how existing bus transit services can be adjusted to provide improved service levels throughout the City.
Two community workshops were held in November. The City also launched a survey on Open City Hall Asheville to get rider and resident input on how to improve ART bus service. Paper copies of this survey are available at City Recreation Centers. The survey remains open through Jan. 14,
The plan is expected to be completed by summer 2018.
