What is your vision for public transit in the DeKalb – Sycamore region? The DeKalb Sycamore Area Transportation Study (DSATS) is updating its Transit Development Plan. The hope is, that the plan will help the community envision a more efficient and connected bus system. DSATS wants to hear your thoughts on how to improve public transportation and bus service for our region. There will be three local Open Houses scheduled next week, please see dates/times below.
The purpose of this plan is to review and evaluate the existing operations of the two primary transit services, Northern Illinois University (NIU) Huskie Line and Voluntary Action Center Transit (TransVAC), in the DeKalb region. This plan will also investigate the costs and benefits of a more integrated intra-community transit service among NIU Huskie Line and TransVAC. Options for improving inter-community transit connections to other locations near our region will also be considered.
