Draft Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan is posted
The draft plan, posted in the City's January 2026 uploads, lists service gaps including limited Pleasant Valley service, no Sunday service, limited evening service and a lunchtime gap on Route #13, and fares of $2-$4 per ACT Connect trip, doubled for riders outside the three-quarter-mile buffer. Its top community priorities are extended evening service, Route #13 mid-day improvements, Pleasant Valley expansion and a fare subsidy for riders outside the buffer. It lists five projects eligible for Section 5310 funding but says they are not proposed for funding under this Section 5310 plan; ACT will instead address priorities through its Comprehensive Operational Analysis and forthcoming route modifications.[1]

The draft lists five projects eligible for Section 5310 funding (shopping transportation; benches, shelters and ADA pathways; travel training; an out-of-service-area fare subsidy; and an AISD trip assistance and monthly pass partnership) but states, "at this time they are not proposed for funding under this Section 5310 Plan." It says ACT will address priorities "through its recent Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) and forthcoming systemwide route modifications," naming extended evening service, Route #13 mid-day improvements and Pleasant Valley access.

The draft PDF is stored in the City's January 2026 uploads folder and its file metadata gives a creation date of January 20, 2026; the document itself is undated. The date of this event is therefore approximate. [1]
