BATTLE CREEK, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – As required by federal law, a public hearing on Battle Creek Transit services will be held next Tuesday night, January 16 during the Battle Creek City Commission meeting.
Changes had to be made in Transit service changes just over a year ago due to staff shortages.
Those reductions were to eliminate Saturday service, eliminate late-night service, and reduce frequency across some of the bus fixed routes and they are still in effect.
While the reductions were supposed to have been temporary, the staffing shortages have extended beyond 12 months, thus the need for a public hearing.
If you cannot attend the City Commission meeting and the public hearing, you can submit written comments to: Mallory Avis, BCT Director, 339 W. Michigan Ave., Battle Creek, MI 49037. You can also email mravis@battlecreekmi.gov. Written comments must be received by this Friday.
Current Transit service looks like this:
Fixed-route buses operate 5:15 a.m.-3:45 p.m. with no service during the lunch hour of 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Tele-Transit provides service from 5 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
BCGo provides service from 6 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
