Community input is at the heart of Connect 2045 and will help guide decisions about public transportation services, routes, and where future investments are made.
LTD wants to hear from you: what’s working well, what needs to be improved to get people to essential destinations (e.g., work, school, grocery stores, healthcare, and community spaces), and what connections would make trips easier, faster, and more direct? Public involvement will include public events, community outreach meetings, and conversations with local organizations.
