As a part of Capital Metro's tri-annual service review process, we are proposing minor changes that would be effective August 2015. These service proposals would serve primarily as adjustments to changes implemented in June 2015. Additionally, the proposed August 2015 changes are designed to address school year demand and create a more efficient transit system.

Capital Metro routinely makes changes according to school and university calendars to accommodate increased ridership. Select school-related trips would be reinstated on E-Bus, UT Shuttles and some Local routes.

The proposal will go before the Capital Metro board of directors on April 27. If approved, the changes would take effect Sunday, August 23, 2015.
