GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Rapid held a series of open houses Thursday as it seeks to develop a 20-year plan for its services.
The public transportation company held three in-person sessions at Rapid Central Station to determine what changes the public wants to see happen in the near and distant future.
Those unable to attend one of Thursday’s events are encouraged to fill out their online survey before Dec. 8.
Residents who don’t ride the bus are also encouraged to make their voices heard.
“As our region grows, so does the need to expand transit options,” says CEO Deb Prato. “We need to create a plan that outlines how public transportation will meet the needs of all our residents. Gathering feedback from everyone, both users and nonusers, is crucial to the success of this plan.”
After the public comment period is over, The Rapid says they and AECOM will create a plan to improve and possibly expand its transit system.
