MTD To Solicit Input on Proposed Service Changes Through Public Meetings and Online Survey
Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
SANTA BARBARA – Santa Barbara MTD is hosting a set of public outreach meetings this April, and is inviting the public to take a brief survey giving feedback on proposed service changes to local bus service. These meetings are held annually in the spring to receive input on the proposed changes that would go into effect on August 19, 2024.
Proposed changes include:
- Service extended until 9:00 p.m. on Line 15x (SBCC/UCSB Express)
- Increased frequency on Line 27 (Isla Vista Shuttle)
In addition to these proposed changes, MTD will be launching temporary summer service for a new Downtown-Waterfront Shuttle circulator in Santa Barbara. Members of the public can learn more about this service at the outreach meetings.
MTD invites the public to learn more and to give feedback via an online survey that explains all the proposed changes at www.sbmtd.gov/servicechanges. The survey is available in English and Spanish.
