Zolinga za Maulendo ndi Zosankha zazikulu
CONNECT is a collaborative effort to decide where bus service should go, when it should run, and how frequently it should operate. Today’s bus network is the result of decades of cumulative small changes and adjustments. The resulting network may not be meeting the goals and priorities of today’s residents, employers, and institutions.
CONNECT is an opportunity to review existing and potential transit demand and need, and to design a network that meets those demands and needs most effectively.
The Choices Report was the first step in CONNECT. It was meant to spark a conversation about transit needs and goals in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties. The sections below summarize key issues, challenges, and choices. Read on below, download the full report, to understand key background to the CONNECT Transit Plan process.

Ndi zolinga zotani zomwe ziyenera kukwaniritsa?
Maulendo apagulu amatha kukwaniritsa zolinga zambiri, koma anthu ndi madera osiyanasiyana amayamikira zolingazi mosiyana. Kumvetsetsa zolinga zomwe zili zofunika kwambiri m'derali ndi sitepe yofunika kwambiri popanga ntchito ya Transpo ndi Interurban Trolley.
Zina mwazolingazi zimakwaniritsidwa ngati anthu ambiri amagwiritsa ntchito zoyendera. Mwachitsanzo, mayendedwe amatha kuchepetsa kuchulukana komanso kuipitsa ngati anthu ambiri akwera basi m'malo moyendetsa. Zolinga zotere timazitcha "zolinga zokwera " chifukwa zimakwaniritsidwa ndi okwera kwambiri.
Zolinga zina zimakwaniritsidwa ndi kupezeka kosavuta kwamayendedwe. Njira ya basi yodutsa m'derali imapatsa anthu inshuwaransi kuti asadzipatula. Zolinga zamtunduwu timazitcha "zolinga zowunikira " chifukwa zimakwaniritsidwa mokulira poyang'anira madera ndi ntchito, osati chifukwa chokwera kwambiri.
Kuganiza za kuchuluka kwa Transpo ndi Interurban Trolley ndalama muzolinga izi ndi funso lofunika kwambiri pa gawo ili la ndondomeko yokonzekera.
Economic Opportunity
Transit can give businesses access to more workers; workers access to more jobs and supportive services like childcare; and students more access to education and training.
Support Essential Needs
Transit can help meet the needs of people who are economically insecure, with access to essential services and jobs.
Congestion Mitigation
Because buses carry more people than cars, transit use can mitigate traffic congestion by reducing Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT).
Climate & Environmental Benefits
By reducing VMT, transit use can reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Frequent transit can also support compact development and help conserve land.
Health
Transit can support physical activity, partly because most riders walk to their bus stop, but also because riders tend to walk more in between their transit trips.
Personal Liberty
By providing people the ability to reach more places than they otherwise would, transit can empower people to make choices and fulfill their individual goals.
