Hearing set for CobbLinc bus system
A public hearing on the county’s bus system, CobbLinc, is planned for 7 p.m. Oct. 23 by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
The hearing will be held in the BOC Room, second floor, 100 Cherokee St., Marietta for Cobb residents to provide their input on proposed service changes.
Commissioners also are requesting the community to visit LinkingCobb.org before Nov. 3 to review the proposed service changes and take a short survey.
For the past year, Cobb Department of Transportation staff members have been creating a short-term transit plan, called CobbLinc Forward, to help CobbLinc meet future transportation needs for residents, workers and business owners.
These proposed updates would be implemented over a five-year horizon but may start as early as March 2.
Recommendations in the CobbLinc Forward plan would provide:
- Sunday service on all local bus routes
- Better service to more customers
- Major improvements to system reliability and on-time performance
- A better match of service levels with transit markets
