What is the Arcadia Transit Strategic Service Assessment?
The strategic service assessment will:
- Evaluate existing transit services to understand how the COVID-19 Pandemic and other factors since system implementation have impacted the demand for transit services.
- Explore partnerships with local businesses and destinations, such as the Santa Anita Racetrack, Huntington Gardens, and local hotels to see if the City can leverage transportation services to improve connectivity.
- Understand future development planned in Arcadia and enhancing transit connectivity to locations that are anticipated to have more residential units to help serve increased transportation demand.
