The City of Pasadena’s Department of Transportation is inviting residents to review and provide feedback on its draft Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP), a document that will guide transit service development and investment over the next five years.

The SRTP outlines recommendations intended to support the policy goals of the city’s public transit systems, Pasadena Transit and Pasadena Dial-A-Ride. The plan includes proposed updates to transit routes, service hours and trip frequency, along with recommendations specifically affecting the Dial-A-Ride program.
City officials are encouraging both current riders and non-users of local transit services to review the report and share feedback. The draft plan is available online, where residents can also submit comments.
Feedback may also be provided by phone at (626) 744-4055 or by email at Transit@CityOfPasadena.net. The public comment period will remain open through Friday, April 3, 2026.
According to the Department of Transportation, the draft SRTP is the result of extensive analysis and community outreach. During the planning process, the department collected more than 1,300 onboard surveys from Pasadena Transit riders and 150 surveys from Pasadena Dial-A-Ride members.
In addition, nine public workshops were held, including sessions specifically designed for youth, seniors and Spanish-speaking residents.
Feedback gathered early in the process helped identify community priorities and guide the development of recommendations included in the plan.
Beyond service recommendations, the draft SRTP includes a market assessment and demographic analysis, a comprehensive review of transit services operating within Pasadena, and a peer evaluation comparing Pasadena’s transit programs with similar community transit agencies across Los Angeles County.
The report also summarizes public outreach efforts and introduces a framework for prioritizing bus stop amenities across the city.
