BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The Whatcom Transportation Authority is updating their long-range transit plan.

The plan, called WTA 2040, will create policies and strategies to guide the next 20 years.

Working with riders, residents, businesses, and more, WTA 2040 will guide decision-making on services, equipment, and infrastructure investments to help optimize transit provision for the long haul.

The public is invited to contribute to this effort by responding to a WTA survey regarding their needs and wishes for the transit system.

The anonymous survey will take 5 to 10 minutes to complete and is open for responses until September 6th.
