For the eleventh out of the past twelve years, COAST is once again on a record setting pace! More greater Seacoast residents are relying on our set of fixed-route, flex-route and demand response public transit services than anytime in our almost 30 year history. We continue to strive to provide the highest quality, safe, affordable and convenient public transportation service. I believe the proof of the success our efforts is evidenced by the continually growing number of individuals that are seen waiting at COAST bus stops and on the buses every day.
Additional news, later this month(June 25th) our fixed-route bus system will undergo some significant changes. In Dover, despite success, we will be eliminating a number of routes and services due to a lack of a sustainable funding source (http://t.co/RFFe1y0W).
At COAST we feel strongly that the set of services we offer serve to increase the overall attractiveness of the region. COAST and public transit systems like it offer affordable and convenient mobility, which is a key factor in the economic health and competitiveness of a community and region. The number one use for public transit at COAST and in NH is to commute to and from work. The next popular uses all revolve around accessing local and regional commerce. The commute period expansions we will be implementing later this month will result in some of the highest frequency public transit services in the state of NH.
We hope that you will help us spread the news of these upcoming changes and maybe even try riding COAST when you have a chance. You might be surprised at how simple, convenient and fun it is.
If you would like us to make a presentation, or set up an information table, at your organization or business to learn more about how easy and affordable it is to use COAST, please contact us at (603) 743-5777. We would be happy to help businesses, employees and individuals discover a more affordable - and still convenient - way to get to work and your place of business.
