MCTS in the Community
 

 

Community Conversation Sessions 

In pursuit of racial equity, MCTS seeks to gain input from our customers and neighbors to better meet the travel needs of our entire community. Join us as we host conversations with neighborhood associations and related groups that currently use, or which could use, bus service.  

Be part of the conversation! If your group would like to host a Q&A session with MCTS or have us share details about our latest developments, send an email to bhamda@mcts.org.
