Meeting will gather ideas about public transit

West Central Initiative (WCI) is hosting an open house to gather public input on the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s future investment priorities for public transit in Greater Minnesota.

The open house is Wednesday, November 10 at 10 a.m. at WCI, 1000 Western Ave., Fergus Falls.

It will include a presentation highlighting projected future need for transit services in Greater Minnesota, service hours required to meet this projected need, and the cost to provide those service hours.

The presentation will look at future scenarios for both increased and decreased state and federal funding for public transit.

WCI is accessible via Transit Alternatives. For detailed information on transit access to this site, contact Transit Alternatives at 1-866-998-3002.
