The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) will host 5 public events to gather community feedback on proposed service changes which – if approved – would take effect January 25, 2026.

Proposed service changes include:

· Service every 30 minutes for routes 3, 10, 20 and 31 between the hours of 6:30-9:30 a.m. and 2:30-5:30 p.m.
· The extension of Route 2 to Lourdes University
· The extension of both fixed route and TARTA Move paratransit service stop time (from 10:49 p.m. to 11:19 p.m.)
· A new route: 18, covering Alexis Road from Jackman Road to the Meijer on Alexis Road.
· The elimination of all route letters (i.e. 31H, 20F, 10L etc.). Branches of those routes would be covered by other schedule changes
· The elimination of routes 14 and 52. Other routes would be adjusted to cover the Route 14 area, and portions of Route 52 will be covered by Route 17, with TARTA Flex still providing service to that section of Secor Road
· Less frequent service on all routes after 6 p.m. Service every 90 minutes would begin at the 6 p.m. lineup for all routes.

The purpose of these events is to seek comment from the public and the business community on these proposals. These forums will focus on the Title VI equity analyses surrounding the service changes. Public meetings are scheduled for the following dates:

· In-person Open House at TARTA Transit Hub, 612 N. Huron Street, Toledo, Monday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m.-noon

· In-person Open House at TARTA Transit Hub, 612 N. Huron Street, Toledo, Monday, Sept. 29, 1-3 p.m.

· In-person meeting at Mott Branch of Toledo Lucas County Public Library, 1010 Dorr Street, Toledo, Monday, Oct. 6, 6-8 p.m.

· Virtual meeting, Monday, Oct. 13, 6-7 p.m. via Zoom
