GMT NextGen Transit Plan

GMT is developing a NextGen Transit Development Plan that will improve service throughout our system. The plan will help identify ways to better match service with current needs, make service simpler, more direct, faster, and more convenient. It will also better integrate urban and rural services. This is the first time that GMT has conducted a comprehensive effort of this type, and public and stakeholder input will be critical to the project’s success.
