OPPORTUNITIES

Weigh in on transit

Everett Transit is developing its 20-year plan. A public survey in June garnered 400 responses. The primary needs identified were frequency of service and coverage areas, officials said. Now, there is an “online open house” seeking additional comments on those topics. The online open house closes Oct. 30. Translation services are available for many languages.

People also can provide input at a series of public meetings in the coming days. The complete schedule can be found online. The plan is expected to be made public next year.

“It is important to get as much feedback as we can,” said Sabina Popa, an Everett Transit program manager.
