I attended the Metro Transit Omaha TAC Meeting tonight. There was a full agenda, and comments from the public.
A rider shared the frustration of a colleague in the lack of public transit in West Omaha. There was also a comment on public safety related to Vision Zero projects, and painted crosswalks.
We were all very happy to hear that Metro is doing a hiring push, and has a goal to hire 60 fixed route operators. Metro is looking for operators who are customer service and community driven. Be on the lookout for further details soon!
Metro staff did a presentation on MicroFlex, and a representative from Via Transportation was present to answer questions. Metro does offer training session for MicroFlex, MOBY, and fixed routes.
We were invited to attend community events happening with Metro this month. I’m most excited for OMATOPIA - Transit Workshop happening Wednesday, July 29th at Joslyn Castle!
