Public Hearings

Overview

Metro has released its proposed budget for the next fiscal year that optimizes service to meet growing ridership demand without any major funding increases.

Metro is calling for longer weekend hours, targeting service increases on the Red, Silver, and Yellow lines, and implementing its revised Better Bus Network in summer 2025.

"This budget helps serve our customers where it is needed most while not spending additional dollars," stated by Metro General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke. "We are proposing several efficiencies that will save us money to pay for the additional service."

"While we are able to fund the budget this year, Metro will need a dedicated source of funding to keep the system viable in the decades to come."
