Metro Transit Service Restoration Plan
This page outlines the Metro Transit Service Restoration Plan that will be implemented on August 3, 2009. Information on enhanced, restored and new MetroBus service, including timetables and route maps, is listed below.
This partial service restoration will be supported by a one-time $12 million appropriation from the State of Missouri. State funding will support this service restoration for approximately 10.5 months. Metro received an additional Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant that will partially support five MetroBus routes. This grant will provide Metro with $3.8 million annually for each of two years, and will require a 20% local match.
The St. Louis region has long been without a permanent, stable and sufficient source of transit funding and this year faced a large budget deficit for support of transit service. In response to this deficit, it was necessary for Metro on March 30, 2009 to reduce transit service on MetroBus, MetroLink and Metro Call-A-Ride by over 30%. These reductions included the elimination of 24 MetroBus routes and reductions in service on remaining routes. MetroLink frequency was reduced during all service hours. Metro Call-A-Ride service was eliminated in many communities where MetroBus no longer operates. Since March 30, many residents of the St. Louis region have been unable to reach critical opportunities aboard transit including employment, healthcare, shopping, and recreation.
The partial service restoration plan outlined here is designed to restore the most needed transit service throughout the St. Louis region. To ensure that transit service does not face future cutbacks, and instead grows to meet the growing needs of the community, it is critical that the St. Louis region identify and establish a permanent and growing source of funding sufficient to support its transit needs.
