To be eligible for state block grant funding for transit systems operations, Collier Area Transit must submit an update for its Transit Development Plan. This requires a ten-year development plan, which is a guide for public transit development and service.

The final plan will include cost and revenue projections, transit goals, additional policies and route modifications.

Public comment about the Transit Development Plan is open. According to Collier Area Transit, citizens can recommend an area for route alignment or a new route, or even request different service times.

To view the plan, visit https://www.ridecat.com/schedules-real-time/service-alerts/?service=4005. It will also be available at the customer service desks at the following locations.
