Omnitrans Invites Public to Comment on Proposed Service Changes

Omnitrans invites community members to attend public hearings next week to provide input on service changes proposed for September 2007.

Specifically, changes are proposed to Routes 5, 8, 60, 62, 67, 70, and 71. Since only minor changes are proposed to eastern area routes, the hearings will be held in West Valley cities.
