RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City Transit System is inviting residents to help shape the future of public transportation through a series of public workshops and an online survey.
The city is conducting a micro transit feasibility study to evaluate current transit services and determine whether a demand-based transportation option could better serve the community.
Two public workshops are scheduled for next Thursday, with one session at the Milo Barber Transportation Center and another at General Beadle Elementary School.
Transit officials say micro transit uses smaller vehicles and flexible routing, allowing passengers to request rides through a smartphone app, website, or phone call and be picked up curbside rather than at traditional bus stops.
The study will examine ridership patterns, identify service gaps, and determine whether a pilot micro transit program could improve transportation access, efficiency, and reliability in Rapid City.
Residents can also provide feedback through an online survey available from September 28th through October 19th.
