Expanding transit throughout the region involves more than building the projects. We have to ensure our existing operations are in good shape as we prepare to expand our transit system.
Over time, the vehicles, tracks, and facilities will need maintenance to remain reliable. Passengers should plan for periods of less frequent Link service, and when needed, replacement bus service.
