Participants will review proposed project ideas based on feedback heard during the first round of public meetings held in February. After reviewing the proposals or adding their new route ideas, participants will vote on their favorites to help determine which projects get adopted into the plan.

This is the second round of public meetings for PTD's short-range transit planning effort called Transit on the Move. This plan will examine how the current transit system is operating and identify possible changes to; route alignments, schedules, service hours, and bus stops. Discussions will result in a list of future system adjustments ranked by priority.
