Key West Transit Development Plan FY2025-2034

Public Outreach

Public Outreach To prepare a TDP reflective of the Key West community, an extensive public outreach process was conducted. A separate Public Involvement Plan was developed and approved by the FDOT District Six. ( Appendix C ) Public engagement was conducted throughout the KWT service area to obtain feedback and better understand the community’s transit needs. To ensure the active participation of both transit users and non-users, outreach efforts included grassroots outreach, online and in-person surveys, a stakeholder focus group meeting, public input flyer distribution, a transit alternatives survey and stakeholder interviews. During Phase I, people were asked to value a wide array of enhanced service options, while Phase II presented the opportunity for people to rank the potential improvements by priority. Respondents showed strong support for potential capital and service improvements » 30-minute service on Lower Keys (supported by 78% of respondents) » Expanded service hours on Workforce (supported by 82% of respondents) » More availability for Key West rides (supported by 75% of respondents) » Expanded service hours for Duval Loop (supported by 80% of respondents) » Bus stop improvements (supported by 72% of respondents)
