A series of family-friendly, interactive events happening across Fort Worth in June will offer information about new services, as well as provide the agency with insights to inform a five-year strategic plan.
(Fort Worth, June 2024) —Trinity Metro will host a series of community engagement events in June that will provide an overview of services and highlight new and coming-soon service updates. The events are open to everyone, including Trinity Metro customers and anyone who is interested in learning more about Trinity Metro services.
The agency is also hoping to gather insight from event attendees about their overall Trinity Metro experience and perceptions, as well as insight about community needs and expectations regarding public transit in Tarrant County, for use in the development of a five-year strategic plan that will be presented in 2025.
The Trinity Metro Community Events will feature a relaxed, interactive, come-and-go format where attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and offer opinions. New services and service updates that will be featured during the series include:
- Trinity Metro ON DEMAND (ridesharing and paratransit services)
- Improvements to the Fort Worth T&P Station
- Grand opening of the Trinity Lakes Station
- Western-themed rebrand launch of Route 15
- Mansfield ZIPZONE launch
- Downtown bus rebrand replacing Molly the Trolley
- Trinity Metro Bike launch
- Alliance EXPRESS Bus Route guaranteed on-time service update
- Bus routes and service fare updates
Family-friendly activities will be offered at each event to engage children during the meetings. There will also be drawings for three-month transit passes and branded Trinity Metro gear.
To help event organizers plan for attendance, pre-registration is encouraged, but not required. Anyone who pre-registers will receive a complimentary one-day transit pass and be entered into a drawing for a complimentary three-month pass. All who attend will receive a one-day transit pass.
Those who cannot attend the event are encouraged to leave feedback via the Trinity Metro community engagement website, available at ridetrinitymetro-engage.org/community, or to engage@ridetrinitymetro-engage.org. Additionally, community organizations and employers may request a speaker or materials for meetings and events by contacting engage@ridetrinitymetro-engage.org
“At Trinity Metro, we talk a lot about the nuts and bolts of what the future of our transportation system looks like,” said Rich Andreski, President and CEO. “This conversation will be formalized with our five-year strategic transportation plan—but we can’t craft that plan without input from the community, because Trinity Metro belongs to the community. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to share information and hear what people have to say about public transit.”
