transportation is a vital mobility tool in our community.
Lawrence Transit and the University of Kansas are currently
engaged in a Route Redesign Study that will help set priorities
for transit service in the future. The aim of the study is to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the existing transit
network and highlight opportunities for service improvement.
Community participation is vital to the success of this effort.
</span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:z0E0A7">A series of
virtual and in-person stakeholder and public meetings will be
held during the week of June 21<sup>st</sup> to introduce the
project and collect feedback from the community on ways to
improve transit service in Lawrence. While all of the meetings
listed below are open to the public, some of them will be geared
toward specific interest groups.</span></p>
