SacRT has released the final network plan, which will go to the board on Monday, February 25. Though the board may modify the proposal, or delay a decision, staff is recommending adoption.
STAR will be making a statement on the plan at that board meeting, largely supporting the network. We will not be making comments on specific routes since we do not have an Action Team meeting between the release yesterday and the board meeting on Tuesday. Members may wish to look at the final plan for service near their residence and destinations, and comment on routes, but we also encourage everyone to consider the plan as a whole, and whether it improves over the current network.
Below is the email from SacRT announcing the final network plan. The same documents are available, the two page summary, the area maps, and detail on routes. There is also a new video on the revised network.
The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) has posted updates to the proposal for the SacRT Forward project, which is a complete redesign of the SacRT bus network.
A draft plan was released for public review on December 10, 2018. Since then, major outreach efforts took place to let riders and stakeholders know about the proposed plan. Since December 10, SacRT has received more than 400 comments from the public. Staff has participated in more than 70 community, neighborhood association and stakeholders meetings and has ridden almost every bus route in the system to hand out information to customers and bus operators.
Based on comments that have been received, staff has spent the past two months making adjustments to the plan. The updated SacRT Forward plan is now available on the project web page: SacRT.com/SacRTForward.
The SacRT Forward project web page has updated maps and a summary of all the proposed route changes. A new video is available below, and on the web page, detailing all of the changes, route by route presented by SacRT Planning staff.
Adjustments have been made to almost every route, some minor and some much more substantial. Some of the routes with the most significant changes from what was originally proposed include Routes 19, 23, 25, 26, 30, 33, 38, 56, 61, 62, 67, and 68.
The next major milestone in the project will be Monday, February 25, 2019, when staff will present the revised plan to the SacRT Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meeting for potential approval. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the SacRT Auditorium at 1400 29th St, Sacramento.
