Wichita Transit Talks
 
Wichita Transit TalksThe City of Wichita launched WichitaTransitTalks.com, an interactive virtual "town hall" dedicated to soliciting ideas from the community about transit services. The site provides a convenient way for the public to share ideas, offer opinions and make recommendations on a broad variety of Transit subjects. The City will use ideas and comments from WichitaTransitTalks.com, surveys and feedback from past stakeholder meetings to draft transit scenarios, which will be presented to the public in meetings and online in January. A preferred scenario will be developed based on feedback and presented to the Wichita City Council in February or early March. Please share this message. The City of Wichita wants to hear from as many residents as possible. Thanks for participating!
