Proposed Route Changes

The results of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), which were unveiled at an Open House on August 24, include recommendations for a number of bus route changes.

As a result, Greenlink will hold 16 community meetings throughout the months of October and November to share information about the proposed route changes and give the public an opportunity to provide input on the route designs.

Feedback received at the community meetings will be incorporated into the routes and the Greenville Transit Authority Board of Directors will vote to adopt the new routes this winter. The changes are expected to go into effect in summer 2018.
