Transit staff outline June 4 service changes, aim to hit 80% on‑time performance

Jeremy, representing transit staff, said the summer service change takes effect June 4 and is designed "to improve on-time performance" and reliability by interlining routes and adjusting timepoints. He reported the system's on-time performance has risen from about 50% a year ago to roughly 70% currently and said the goal for the near term is 80%.

Staff outlined concrete route changes: increased interlining between routes (example: routes 22 and 26 will interline so that trips coordinate for transfers and improved flexibility), weekend service will be added on route 25 to serve the College Station parking area, and several campus stops will be realigned to improve stop alignment and accessibility. Jeremy described collaboration with campus transit and consultants (named in the meeting) on a major system redesign and invited commissioners to stakeholder workshops to be announced by staff.

Commissioners requested slides and maps for public notice; staff said a two-week public-notice period precedes the service change and that detailed maps would be shared. The presentation emphasized operational efficiency, better route connectivity, and coordination with the university partner.
