Stacia,They have found in most cities that there is not a need for ridership to airports for travelers. there is for employees, but only in large metropolitan areas. We do not have that many employees at the airport who would ride a bus.

At the listening session that I attended, StarMetro reps stated that they would not have a route to the airport because they didn't think they would get enough ridership to make it worth having the route and that the airport would have to help fund for such a route.I hope this information is helpful to you.

Listening Sessions will take place on:- November 6 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located at 300South Adams Street, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. - November 10 at City Hall in the Tallahassee Room, located at 300 South Adams Street, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The nova2010 project aims to take the current downtown oriented routestructure and break apart the structure to create a more grid-like systemwith routes running on main roads from north to south and east to west with many routes bypassing downtown’s C.K. Steele Plaza. This new structure would create many transfer points scattered throughout the city. By traveling on major roads and eliminating route redundancies, a decentralized StarMetro route structure would offer customers: - Reductions in downtown transfers. - Reductions in travel time. - Reductions in carbon footprint. - Increases in on-time performance. - Increases in frequency (bus comes more often). - Increases in regional travel opportunities. “The ultimate goal of nova2010 is to create a transit system that bettermeets the needs of customers – direct, fast, forward,” said Ron Garrison,executive director of StarMetro. StarMetro plans to launch the new, grid-like system in fall 2010. For more information, please call StarMetro’s main office at (850) 891-5200 or visit *Talgov.com/starmetro*.
