Pursuing the 60/40 service goal, the Short Term Transpo Network proposes the set of adjustments to improve service to major destinations within the current budget limits and the policy direction from the Transpo Board. Key differences from today’s network include:
 

• Route 1 is slightly simplified to operate via Colfax, Jacobs, to McKinley. It is also extended to Southwood and Reverewood, to take over the eastern part of existing Route 11.

• New Route 2 serves the Orange and Washington corridors, the Excel Center, and the Far Northwest, but only hourly.

• With no new funding, the addition of Route 2 means that Route 3 is now entirely hourly. It remains mostly on Portage.

• With the addition of Route 2, Route 4 is now simplified and remains on Lincolnway, instead of deviating to serve College, Orange, and Olive Streets.

• Route 5 would operate the same limited schedule. It is straightened to stay on Michigan Street instead of deviating to Iroquois. The loop at the north end has been extended to serve Clay High School.

• Routes 6 and 8 are revised in how they serve the Michigan, Fellows, and Miami corridors. Route 6 now serves Irish Hills Apartments, and continues to run every half hour, while Route 8 is reduced to every hour. Route 8 is extended farther south to Jackson Road, where Route 6 runs today.  ​

• Route 7 is extended to serve Walmart and other big box stores, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center and the VA and continue to downtown Mishawaka, improving access to these destinations for many people. Its path through Notre Dame has also been adjusted to be simpler and faster. With this change, Route 7 takes over for the areas served by Route 15A, which no longer exists.

• Route 9 is replaced by Route 30, which provides a one-seat ride between Downtown South Bend and Downtown Elkhart, with faster travel times of under one hour. Route 30 also remains on Mishawaka Avenue from Logan to Main before turning south to Downtown Mishawaka.

• Route 10 has been extended farther west to serve Martin’s at Western and Mayflower.

• Route 11 would be mostly similar to today except that the eastern portion serving Southwood Manor and Reverewood would now be part of Route 1 and be served once per hour.

• Route 12 has been simplified slightly. This change was made so that the route would be able to get to and from downtown in 30 minutes, making it easier to time connections with more routes.

• ​Route 13 has been extended to Main Street to make a direct connection to Route 15. It has also been adjusted near downtown to serve areas no longer served by Route 7.

• Route 15 is the old Route 15B. It would be changed to travel in both directions on Grape from University Mall to McKinley. It now follows Logan to Lincoln to Downtown Mishawaka.

• Route 16 has been revised to operate via Portage from Downtown to Bendix and Cleveland, since Route 2 now provides all-day, two-way service to the industrial areas north of the airport. Route 16 has been extended north along Dylan Drive to serve new destinations, like FedEx and Amazon.

The Existing Network has a few unusual one-way patterns in the evening and on Saturday. In the Short-Term Network, these one-way patterns are removed, and all routes operate the same pattern all day and evening and Saturday. So, for example, Routes 6 and 8 operate as two-way services all day in the Short-Term Network. One cost of this investment in additional service is that some routes, like Route 6, have lower frequency all day.​
