WAUSAU – The Wausau Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in partnership with Metro Ride seeks public input for their five-year transit plan.

The MPO serves the communities of Kronenwetter, Maine, Mosinee, Rib Mountain, Rothschild, Schofield, Stettin, Wausau and Weston.

The public is encouraged to complete a brief survey by March 21. It is available online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/MetroRide_Survey or printed copies are available at the Marathon County Public Library branches in Wausau, Rothschild, and Mosinee.

You also can complete the survey by phone or request a printed copy. Contact Nathan at [email protected] or call 937-299-5007.

Data collected in the survey will help inform the five-year transit plan by evaluating current transit services for efficiency and future opportunities. Additionally, options for service outside the city of Wausau will be explored. Survey outcomes could result in recommendations for changes to Metro Ride.

A draft of the Transit Plan is expected to be available in June at which time there will be opportunity for the public to review the plan and provide additional input. Opportunities for public input will be posted on the Wausau MPO website at www.wausaumpo.org/events/.
