CINCINNATI – Metro will hold a virtual public meeting on Thursday, Oct. 21 from 5-7 p.m., to inform and receive comments from the community regarding upcoming service changes to multiple routes.

The planned changes will impact 23 Metro routes and will go into effect on Dec.5, 2021.

Below is the list of routes that will experience service changes in December, including improved frequency, enhanced access to Park & Rides and running-time adjustments, along with other updates:
