Transit

The Transit Development Plan (TDP) serves as a strategic blueprint for shaping the future of public transportation in Polk County. As our community grows and changes, it is essential to ensure that transit services continue to meet the evolving needs of residents, businesses, and visitors. The Polk Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), in partnership with local transit providers, develops and updates the TDP to guide investments, improvements, and innovations in the county’s bus and transit systems.

This page provides an in-depth look at the TDP process, including goals, recent updates, and opportunities for community input. The TDP examines current transit operations, analyzes ridership trends, and identifies priorities for expanding service, improving accessibility, and enhancing the overall rider experience. Key focus areas include increasing frequency on busy routes, adding new connections, introducing technology upgrades, and supporting sustainable transportation options.

Public participation is a vital part of the TDP, ensuring that the plan reflects the needs and preferences of Polk County’s diverse population. Whether you are a regular transit rider, a business owner, or someone interested in the future of mobility, this page is your resource for learning about the TDP and how you can get involved in shaping a more connected, efficient, and accessible transit system for all.
