Re-Imagine Your Ride

Share your ideas for improving the area's public transit system

Whether you are a regular transit rider, ride occasionally, or have never been on a bus, we want your feedback about our transit system.

Join us for a transit study open house in Coralville on Thursday, November 14, from 6:30-8:30 pm at Coralville City Hall, or attend one of the other area open houses.
