DCR Chamber’s Transit Study Recommendation to Expand On-demand Service Begins October 18, 2021, with MVTA CONNECT
One of the Chamber’s top priorities over the last two years was addressing the need to provide better and more transit options in Dakota County. The DCR Chamber of Commerce conducted a study in 2020 and one of the recommendations was to expand local fixed route and on-demand service. We are excited to announce Minnesota Valley Transit Authority will offer Ride on Demand service with the City of Eagan beginning October 18, 2021. Learn more here: MVTA Connect Expands to Eagan
 
The study recommendations were five identified strategies:
  1. Expand and improve existing service
  2. Create transit hubs
  3. Provide direct point-to-point service connecting these hubs
  4. Use new technologies to feed these hubs
  5. Plan and build development for transit
 
Within each of the strategies are 14 key action items. Action item #4 was to develop coordinated demand responsive transit services. We are appreciative to MVTA to expand its MVTA CONNECT in the City of Eagan. We will continue to work with MVTA to expand service areas over the next few years. We will be updating you over this next year on the implementation of our recommendations.
