    The COMET is seeking community input on two concepts of what a new bus network could look like. Both concepts show how The COMET bus network could be run differently within its existing budget.

    The two concepts and the public response to them is part of the first phase of the Reimagine The COMET planning process. This is a two-year planning study led by The COMET in partnership with many community partners to analyze the current bus network and recommend changes to the system.

    Over the next two months, The COMET invites the public to learn more about these two concepts by reading more on the project website, participating in public meetings and taking the public survey. The COMET will be engaging the public in multiple ways from Nov. 12 through Dec. 31 to get responses from riders and the public.

    The COMET will host virtual public meetings Dec. 2 from noon to 1:00 p.m. and Dec. 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to explain these concepts and answer questions. The COMET’s consultant team staff will also be meeting bus riders and the public at various events to ask about these concepts with a paper version of the survey. Details for participating in these public meetings are available on the project website. The COMET says it and its partners will continue to engage the community in future phases of the study with new questions and new information about what transit options are possible.
