Spring Service Change Feedback

MVTA is proposing a replacement of weekend service on routes 497 and 499 in Shakopee with MVTA Connect service. The routes currently have service every 120 minutes between 5:30 AM and 10 PM on weekends and serve destinations throughout Shakopee. Service would be replaced by MVTA Connect, an on-demand service that can be booked via the RideMVTA App. Service would be available from 6 AM to 9 PM.

The proposed change would also include multiple routing changes to routes 440, 442, 475, and 4FUN. For more information and details, please view maps and materials located at https://mvta.com/news-items/spring-service-changes/

We're looking for your feedback on these changes. Public input is important to MVTA as the agency strives to provide responsive, effective, and optimized mobility solutions for the region!
