We Need Your Help Advocating for Local Transit Improvements
Chad Edwards recently presented Trinity Metro's budget proposal to the CoFW Infrastructure Committee asking for an additional ~$10 million in city funding to complete specific projects that would improve areas throughout town. Trinity Metro broke it down in detail just exactly how that funding will be spent.
This proposal will do the following:
1. Increase frequency through McCart & Crosstown corridors
2. Implement new route networks
3. Improve transit signage
4. Improve the East Transfer Center
5. Create a Southeast Zip Zone
6. Major improvements to ADA & sidewalks in various areas
7. Create express service from East Transfer Center to Alliance
8. Continue the Alliance Zip Zone
9. Create an “Amazon Route”
10. Install Solar Panels @ bus shelters
