We are pleased to present you with this summary of proposed changes that will improve our service and create a better travel experience for years to come. Customer feedback is crucial to shaping a transit network that works for you. That’s why we welcome your comments on these proposed enhancements and will use your input to develop the final 10-Year Transit Network Plan. Below is a list of ways you can submit your comments and get involved. • Attend a community meeting. (See opposite page for listings.) • Visit our website at www.RiversideTransit.com. • Call us at (951) 565-5002 to talk with an RTA representative. • Mail to RTA at 1825 Third Street, Riverside, CA 92507. • E-mail to [email protected]. Please submit your comments by September 19, 2014. About the Proposed 10-Year Transit Network Plan The 10-Year Transit Network Plan is being developed as part of an ongoing, 18-month study called the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), which is expected to be completed this fall. The purpose of the study is to create a plan to guide RTA service over the next ten years. Pending RTA Board of Directors’ approval, the final proposed transit plan, based on the public response, would be implemented over a ten year period with some changes taking effect as early as January 2015. What Improvements are Most Important to Customers? At the start of the COA project, we asked customers what improvements were most important to them. We read comments from over 12,000 surveys and talked to customers at major transit hubs, colleges and public open houses. You told us that, more than anything, you wanted more frequent service followed by better-timed transfers and later service. PROPOSED 10-YEAR TRANSIT NETWORK PLAN | 1 HOW THE PLAN WILL BENEFIT YOU Improved Frequencies: Based on the proposed enhancements, frequencies would improve on 80 percent of local routes. All routes would have a frequency of 60 minutes or better on weekdays and weekends. Route 1 and the UCR - Moreno Valley College portion of Route 16 would have frequencies of 10 and 15 minutes, respectively. Routes 3, 15, and 28 and the Perris portion of Route 16 would have 30 minute frequencies. The table on Page 5 shows proposed frequency changes for all routes on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
