AC Transit is starting a new and interactive series of community virtual meetings for their bus riders in the East Bay. Hosted by AC Transit board directors and staff, Transit Talks is a way for AC Transit to connect and communicate directly with the people who live, work, or travel within their service areas. The purpose of the meetings is to provide community updates on bus service, health and safety initiatives, projects and most importantly --- to meet and hear from transit riders.
All Transit Talks are free and open to the public, and can be attended via web, livestream, or dial-in by phone.
Scheduled for April 26, the first Transit Talk will feature AC Transit Board Director Elsa Ortiz. The meetings will be held from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm on the dates below, which are specific to geographical areas:
