Please take the COA Routes & Schedules online survey! in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
Last fall, AC Transit staff received extensive feedback through our Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) survey and workshops. We’ve used your feedback to develop service enhancement proposals. From March 18 through March 31, we are holding additional workshops where we’ll share our proposals, and gather further input.
What is a COA?
COA stands for Comprehensive Operations Analysis. It is a detailed study of AC Transit’s system to identify core strengths and new opportunities for improvement. The COA focuses mainly on routes and schedules. The first phase of the COA outreach asked the public how AC Transit can best serve East Bay residents, employees, students, and visitors while being a good steward of public money. The second phase of the COA will focus on a review of our service enhancement proposals — developed based on feedback we received from our passengers. The proposed changes will focus resources on areas that have historically had strong ridership, as well as some new opportunities/service patterns that AC Transit has identified. Service enhancement proposals will include improvements to reliability, increased frequency, and route structure modifications.
Who can be a participant?
Everyone! AC Transit wants to make sure that our service enhancement proposals make sense. We want to hear from existing and potential customers, employers, business owners, community advocates and elected officials.
How can you participate?
Plan ACT will collect feedback through phone, e-mail, open house workshops, community meetings and AC Transit Board meetings. Plan ACT will engage people of all backgrounds to ensure that diverse needs and experiences are brought into the review of the proposed changes.
If you would like AC Transit to bring the Plan ACT presentation to your community meeting, please contact us. Email: planning@actransit.org or (510) 891-7291.
