PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
WASHINGTON COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
THURSDAY, MAY 18, 2023 - 6:00 P.M. WASHINGTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER
West Entrance Room 1019
432 E WASHINGTON ST, WEST BEND WI 53095

Comments from the public regarding the proposed elimination of the Washington County Commuter Express service provided by Washington County are welcome at the public meeting May 18, 2023 starting at 6:00 pm at the Washington County Government Center, Room 1019.

Washington County Commuter Express Reductions: The service reduction is to eliminate all bus routes servicing the West Bend, Richfield, and Germantown Park and Ride lots. The Commuter Express would no longer service locations in Milwaukee County such as Marquette University, Marquette University High School, Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, Clement Zablocki Veterans Administration Medical Center, and Downtown Milwaukee.

The proposed elimination is being considered due in part to the decreased use of the service, associated loss of revenue, and the increase in the cost of the service. The service would cease on September 29, 2023.

The Public Works Committee will make a recommendation to the Washington County Board. The Washington County Board could take the matter up at its June 14, 2023 meeting. 

FOR INDIVIDUALS UNABLE TO ATTEND THE PUBLIC MEETING, WRITTEN COMMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH MAY 11, 2023. SEND THEM TO WASHINGTON COUNTY TRANSIT 900 LANG STREET, WEST BEND, WI 53090 OR TRANSIT@WASHCOWISCO.GOV

Individuals with disabilities requiring special accommodations for attendance at the meeting should contact the County Clerk at (262) 335-4301 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.
