Public comment period begins March 7 and will run to April 4

TARC is asking for the public to comment on changes being proposed to ten current routes. These changes are being suggested to improve route efficiency, and adjust service to areas where it is most needed.

To read the full plan (available March 7), and view maps of the proposed changes please visit us at www.ridetarc.org.

TARC is proposing the below service adjustments to take place on August 6, 2023:

Routes 4 (Fourth Street), 6 (Sixth Street), 10 (Dixie Rapid), 18 (Dixie Highway), 72 (Clarksville), and 74 (Chamberlain Ln – River Ridge)

These proposed changes will improve service in the southwest area of the community, along Manslick Road, to St. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, JCTC Campus, and to Westport Road. Changes will reallocate duplicated service along the Dixie Corridor, already served by Dixie Rapid Route 10. 

Routes 17X (Bardstown Road Express), 31X (Middletown Express), 40X (Jeffersontown Express), and 61X (Plainview Express)

Due to low ridership, Express Route 61X will be discontinued. Also, to be discontinued due to low ridership are the express trip portions only from Routes 17, 31, and 40. To improve morning peak service a local trip has been added to Route 40.

TARC is reviewing and analyzing proposed service changes to ensure this proposal does not create any disproportionate burden or disparate impact on low-income and minority populations in the TARC service area.  Federally required Title VI evaluation will be developed to address any potential impact of these changes, and propose mitigation measures if required. Title VI evaluation and outcomes will be presented to the TARC Board of Directors for their review and approval.

Two open-house public meetings to discuss these changes in greater detail are scheduled to take place at Southwest Public Library from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21, and at Union Station from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22.  Public comments regarding these changes will be accepted during the public comment period (March 07 through April 4) and may be submitted at Union Station (1000 West Broadway, Louisville, KY 40203), during the public meeting at Southwest Public Library (9725 Dixie Hwy, Louisville, KY 40272), or by email to: PublicComment@ridetarc.org.

All comments received will be considered and presented at the Board of Directors before service changes are finalized and implemented.

Major Russell Miller

I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to everyone as I am the new Major of the 2^nd Division. I have been with LMPD for 22 years and served the community in various positions and divisions throughout my career. After recently being promoted,  I was fortunate enough to have been presented with the opportunity to return and command the 2^nd Division.  For the previous 5.5yrs I had been the Lieutenant in the 2^nd Division, so I am very familiar with the Division and very excited to continue to be apart of the community here. My goals will be to provide strong and effective leadership for the officers and to the members of the community. My team and I will lead officers to provide quality and professional service and response to every citizen, to continue working hard to reduce crime within the community and to partner with community members so together we can advance quality of life issues.
