Do you have a question about a transit project or want to know how you can get involved in decision-making, or want to contact the Metro Transit outreach coordinator who serves your community? We’ve pulled together resources to get you started.
Building relationships
Metro Transit recently restructured its outreach department to focus on building relationships with communities by assigning one outreach coordinator to each geographic area. Your designated outreach coordinator can:
-
Connect you to transit resources
-
Engage residents and businesses on transit improvement projects such as the METRO B Line, E Line, F Line, METRO Green Line Extension or the METRO Blue Line Extension
-
Keep people informed about the status of projects, especially construction activities
-
Attend community meetings for two-way conversations about transit services and projects
-
Build partnerships with local organizations and groups in communities we serve
-
Prepare people on how to ride transit, pay their fares or use our information tools
Focus: How to Ride, Community education
Current Projects
Metro Transit is committed to engaging the community, compiling the information we receive and reporting back on what we heard and how we are using what we learned from you. The following are recent or current engagement projects along with a summary of engagement activities and public comments.
Listening and Learning through Crisis
In August 2020, Metro Transit conducted listening sessions to understand how our riders and the communities we serve have been affected by recent crises. Metro Transit staff went out into the community and listened to our customers and communities served by our core routes about how this year has changed their transit needs and priorities. We did this through online surveys, in-person conversations with customer at bus stops and stations, social media, mask distribution events, and Transit Assistance Program sign-ups.
The information we gathered will inform near-term service decisions and shape future public engagement efforts. Here are two summaries of our engagement process and what we heard:
