Public Event Series

Transit on the Move is the short-range transit plan for the Municipality of Anchorage. Over the course of the next year we are conducting a series of public meetings in order to obtain feedback from the community about public transportation in the municipality. This process will help the Public Transportation Department prioritize future projects in order to make public transportation as convenient, accessible, and reliable as possible.

*Additional service is dependent on additional funding. The goal of this plan is to recommend a list of future system adjustments ranked by priority.

Public Event Series #2

We met in May and June to vote on project proposals to include in the short-range transit plan. We asked participants to review 4 maps containing projects for the Anchorage Bowl and one map contained projects for Chugiak/Eagle River. There were 3 Anchorage Bowl maps to show options for how service on particular road segments of the city could be designed. There were also seven non-route specific projects to vote on: adding back service on the holidays, increasing the frequency on existing routes, increasing the span of service on the weekdays, increasing the span of service on the weekends, adding transit security, and two projects specific to AnchorRIDES: decreasing the wait-time by 10 minutes at pick-up and providing same day scheduling.
