Valley Metro is reviewing potential changes to its regional bus network as part of an effort to better align transit service with travel patterns across the Valley.
For Gilbert riders, the proposed changes would affect Routes 156 and 531.
Under the proposal, Route 156 would no longer deviate to Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, a change intended to improve travel times along Williams Field Road. Evening service on the route would also be extended until 10:30 p.m.
Proposed changes to Route 531 would consolidate express service along the U.S. 60 corridor. Route 531 would be discontinued and replaced by service on Route 533.
The revised Route 533 would provide seven weekday morning trips and seven weekday evening trips between the West Mesa Park-and-Ride and destinations along the corridor.
Valley Metro said the recommendations are preliminary and have not been finalized. Public feedback will be used to refine the proposals before they move through the regional review and approval process.
Residents can learn more about the proposed changes and submit comments through Nov. 30.
