City of Campbell Seeks Public Input For 2021 Transit Service Plan

Press release from the City of Campbell:

September 21, 2020

Three Draft Plans

The 2021 Transit Service Plan will have to reflect several new realities related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including lower sales tax revenues, new travel patterns, and potentially lower ridership. Three proposals will be the subject of community engagement through mid-October. Based on community feedback and analysis, staff will revise the three service plan proposals for the VTA Board’s consideration on December 3.

Public Input Needed

VTA planning, customer service and community outreach teams are seeking public input on the Draft 2021 Transit Service Plan and need your input to help shape the decision that will be made by the Board later this year. We encourage you to visit the VTA website to learn more about the plan and the engagement process, and to provide your comments, questions, and feedback. The public is also encouraged to attend a virtual community meeting, noted below, or invite our staff to virtually meet with your organization or neighborhood group to discuss the plan. Your input—specifically how EACH proposed plan might affect your travel options—is important to us and helps us understand the impact.

Virtual Community Meetings

VTA will hold two virtual community meetings that will feature a presentation from staff and opportunities for the public to ask questions and provide input into the planning process. We encourage those who wish to attend live to please RSVP for one of the following community meetings:

Your participation in how we shape the future of transit is much appreciated!
