Inner‑city intercity route seeks riders; organizers testing days and times
Summary
Organizers said the new inner‑city intercity route has not yet taken rides but they are reviewing preferred days and times and distributing flyers to senior centers and partners.
Organizers of a new inner‑city intercity route told the committee on March 31 that launch planning is ongoing and they are being flexible about schedules to find demand.
Megan Amber, speaking for the service rollout team, said the route initially planned for Tuesdays and Thursdays starting March 18 has not yet carried riders; staff are asking potential customers about alternate days and times and will remain flexible during the early weeks of service. Amber said outreach includes flyers to senior centers and coordination with Mercy and other community partners.
Why it matters: A functioning intercity route could fill transit gaps between communities and provide access to medical and other services for residents without personal transportation.
Details and next steps: Amber said the team will continue outreach via social media, radio and flyers and will update the committee at the next meeting. She offered to leave printed flyers with the committee and said more service updates will follow in April.
Ending: Committee members encouraged continued outreach and asked to be kept informed of ridership and schedule adjustments.
