Transit Commission Eliminates Routes 8 and 10 Effective 5 January 2009

The Green Bay Transit Commission voted this morning to approve the recommendation of the Service Development Committee (SDC) and eliminate Routes 8 and 10 from service effective 5 January 2009. Additional information about these changes can be found on the July 2008 section of this blog. http://www.ci.green-bay.wi.us/ftp/Blog/2008_07_01_archive.html

It was the desire of the SDC to move these service hours and expand service into the outlying service area to address needs and requests. However, due to budgetary constraints affecting all of our member municipalities, this change was not able to happen.

Therefore, the Commission was forced to eliminate these two low performing routes from service and accelerate the implementation date of Routes 3 & 4. Additional information and schedules for Routes 3 and 4 will be forthcoming.
