OLD MATERIAL

How did we get here?

The New TARC Network was developed as a result of the comprehensive TARC 2025 process that gathered feedback from over 300 community meetings, events, and workshops.

TARC 2025 was launched because TARC has faced major financial challenges recently, including projections of a multimillion-dollar fiscal cliff if changes were not made.

Better service for customers

The New TARC Network will rely upon a new downtown transfer center to allow for convenient timed transfers between routes a “pulse” system.

The new network increases the number of jobs accessible by transit by 5 percent. All JCPS magnet high schools will be served.

The new network will provide more useful, frequent service on key corridors like Broadway/Bardstown, Preston Highway, Fourth Street, Dixie Highway, and Market/Frankfort.

Changes to the network

Service for many lower ridership corridors in Middletown, Jeffersontown, parts of south and southwest Jefferson County, and other areas will be reduced or discontinued.

Most TARC customers will see faster, more reliable service and will be able to access the bus at their current stop or one very close by. Some customers will have to walk a little bit further to get to the bus.

All customers will need to learn the new numbering system and map. But once they learn the system it will be much simpler and more useful for the average rider.
