Reliable transit access
for shift workers

Public refinementVersion 2.4Updated today
PUBLIC NEED

People who work outside standard commute hours cannot reliably reach major employment centers by public transit.

Desired outcome

Reliable service that aligns with shift changes while improving geographic access and publishing performance data.

The proposal

WHAT THIS VERSION DOES

Run a one-year extended-hours transit pilot on three high-need routes.

Routes would be chosen using documented shift schedules, rider demand, and geographic access gaps. Reliability would be reported monthly, with a separate rural access review after six months.
