| ABQ RIDE Forward Network Plan Seeks Community Input On Transit Service
ABQ RIDE (the City’s Transit Department) is launching the ABQ RIDE Forward Network Plan to guide where bus routes run, how frequently, and on what hours and days. At this stage ABQ RIDE is looking for input on key underlying goals for transit service in Albuquerque. We would like to know if residents want to focus service on trying to get the most riders versus putting some service close to absolutely everyone in the city. Another question is when service should operate, which is nearly as important as where. We are looking to hear from both regular bus riders as well as people who are new to transit. A project website at abqrideforward.com provides an “Existing Conditions Report,” a community survey, and ways to participate including community meetings on October 19th and 24th. The survey is available through October 2022 with more chances to participate coming throughout the project, expected to finish in fall 2023. |
