Columbia Transit new route public information meeting
									
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Columbia Transit will hold a public information
meeting Thursday, May 13, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Friends
Room at the Columbia Public Library. The purpose of this meeting is to
promote the new route changes that take effect June 7 and give riders
details about the new and amended routes.
	Changes include: a downtown orbiter route that cycles through
The District and the MU campus area every 15 minutes; additions to the
Red Route, including stops at HyVee grocery store, Fairview clinics,
Moberly Area Community College and Crossroads Shopping Center; and a
movie theater route that travels through the MU campus areas and between
Hollywood and Forum 8 theaters. (The theater route is our most requested
route.)	Columbia Transit's new routes will not add any extra costs to
city of Columbia taxpayers. Ridership is up nearly 25,000 people this
year. Last fiscal year, more than 471,000 people utilized the Columbia
Transit system. 
	For more information regarding the Columbia Transit system route
changes, log onto www.GoColumbiaMo.com (GoBus).
