Due to the ongoing pandemic, Mountain Metropolitan Transit will conduct public meetings digitally for proposed spring 2021 service changes. Mountain Metro has posted an online video and survey to inform the public of the proposed service changes and to obtain public input prior to a final decision. A link to the public meeting video and survey can be found at mmtransit.com.

Public comments can also be submitted by phone to 719-385-7433, faxed to 719-385-5419, or sent using the City's GoCOS app. Comments will be accepted through February 25, 2021. In accordance with the ADA, anyone requiring an auxiliary aid to participate in these meetings should make the request no later than February 23, 2021.  Citizens who are deaf may also use 711 to arrange for an accommodation.

The following is a summary of proposed service changes:
