Connect Transit weighs Sunday buses, later evenings and new routes in three draft plans
A survey on the options runs into early December; the final plan must be cost neutral.
NORTH LOGAN - Connect Transit is weighing three draft bus-network plans, including Sunday service and a Brigham City commuter route, according to minutes of the Sept. 23 board meeting.
Each adds about 10% more revenue hours; the final plan will be cost neutral, blending the best-liked pieces. Some routes would need funding agreements first.
The three options
- Multi-Hub: two transfer points outside downtown; Route 8 becomes a crosstown line on 600 West. Residents' access to frequent service rises 38%, while the share with any transit access falls 3%.
- New Destinations: a summer Saturday Route 4 to USU housing and Logan Canyon; an hourly Route 10 to Wellsville, Mantua and Brigham City; Connect Pool in Nibley, North Logan, Hyde Park and Smithfield.
- Service Span: service until 10 p.m. on the Blue and Green Loops and Routes 7, 9, 12 and 15, plus Sunday buses on the Loops and Routes 1, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15.
How to weigh in
An online survey, linked from Connect Transit's website, runs into early December, the Oct. 28 board packet shows. Its schedule lists the last pop-up outreach at the Transit Center and USU on Nov. 12. Final recommendations are expected in early 2027.
Why this matters
Bus riders, students and commuters can tell Connect Transit whether they want Sunday buses, later evenings or new routes before a preferred plan is chosen. The final plan must be cost neutral, so the survey helps decide which changes make the cut.
