Connect New Mexico: the NM Statewide Public Transportation Plan will evaluate the needs of New Mexico's rural, urban, and intercity public transportation services. The plan will present transit investment projects and programs for the next ten years
What will this project include?
The plan will identify, define, and prioritize transit programs and investments to fill gaps in the existing network of services across the state. The plan will provide recommendations that align with goals of the state's Long Range Transportation Plan: Safety, Mobility and Accessibility, Program Delivery, and Asset Management.

What is the purpose of the survey?
The rider survey is focused on transit riders and members of the public. Responses and feedback will help our project team learn how people currently use public transportation in New Mexico and how it can better serve them in the future. The survey is available online and will also be distributed on buses and vans in paper format in January.
