Seven virtual informational meetings to highlight 2021 improvements.
CINCINNATI – Beginning January 12, Metro will hold seven virtual community meetings to update the public and to collect feedback on the service improvements going into effect in June 2021 and beyond.

The Reinventing Metro plan focuses on transportation improvements that will ultimately boost the region’s economic development and vibrancy through improved connections to jobs and new employment centers, increased frequency, expanded service hours, new routes, and enhanced customer amenities.

In 2021, nine routes, Rts. 4, 11, 16, 17, 20, 33, 43, 46, and 78 will see major improvements as part of Phase I of the plan’s roll-out, including some with 24-hour service, increased frequency and more weekend service to make using public transportation easier and more convenient.
