TARC has formally launched TARC 2025, a planning process and community conversation to determine what TARC will look like in the coming years.
Faced with significant financial challenges, TARC will use TARC 2025 to proactively address the looming fiscal cliff and create a reliable and effective transit system.
TARC 2025 will solicit direct input from the community to create an updated TARC transit network that can better meet the community’s goals and priorities – within the level of the funding TARC expects over the next 5 to 10 years.
Public phase of TARC 2025 network redesign now live
From July 30 through September 12, Louisville region residents can evaluate three different concepts of what a redesigned TARC transit network could look like. These concepts are not actual proposals. But public feedback about the concepts will directly inform draft proposals to be released later this fall.
Two of the concepts will assume that TARC will not receive any additional operating revenue and will have to implement service reductions of up to 50 percent compared to what was offered in Spring 2024. With service cuts that significant, determining TARC’s top priorities will be critical.
- The “Coverage” concept will show what TARC might look like if it used its limited resources to prioritize maintaining existing coverage. In this concept, while there are theoretically more places that a bus route will run on, those buses are spread out, meaning they wouldn’t come as often.
- The “Ridership” concept will show what TARC might look like if it used its limited resources to prioritize frequent and reliable service in areas with the greatest potential for high ridership. In that concept, waits for a bus would be short where bus service exists. The downside is that fewer overall areas would have service.
- A third concept, the “Growth” concept, shows what TARC could look like if additional funding for service was available. It maximizes service in areas of high ridership potential and maintains most of the existing coverage. This concept shows what Louisville transit would look like if the region prioritized meeting more of the unmet transit needs of the community and invested to position the system for future growth.
You can learn more about the concepts on the TARC 2025 concepts page.

 Online survey available through September 30
As part of Vision Zero Louisville – the city’s transportation safety initiative that prioritizes the prevention of fatal and serious injury crashes – partners of the initiative, including Louisville Metro Public Works and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, announced today that they are raising awareness about the relationship between speed, speeding and safety, as well as seeking public input on speeding and speed management in the community. Louisville residents are invited to share their experiences and opinions in a brief online survey, which is available through September 30, 2024.
The survey results – coupled with crash data, current local conditions, and a peer review of cities leading the way in terms of speed management and Vision Zero – will help shape Louisville’s first-ever Speed Management Plan. This plan is a multifaceted and balanced effort to manage speeds on non-interstate streets through roadway design, intersection design, modernizing policies and practices related to speed limits, and enforcement.
“The effects of speeding are deadly, and drivers on Louisville’s High Injury Network, where a majority of fatal and serious injury crashes occur, should be especially aware of their speed,” said Lt. Craig Browning, commander of LMPD’s Traffic Unit. “This Speed Management Plan is the right thing to do, and this community-informed effort will help us look at feasible and effective solutions to address speeding as we work toward our vision of zero roadway deaths by 2050.”
Vision Zero Louisville’s speeding survey coincides with a media blitz by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as part the agency’s year-round Speeding Catches Up With You campaign focused on speed prevention on our nation’s roads. Studies show higher speeds result in greater impact at the time of a crash, which leads to more severe injuries and deaths. NHTSA reports speeding contributes to more than 25% of all traffic-related deaths nationwide.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2022, Louisville Metro Council passed an ordinance calling for zero roadway deaths by 2050 through the Vision Zero Louisville transportation safety initiative. The initiative is managed by Louisville Metro Public Works, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which in July reminded Kentuckians to slow down this summer through its “Not So Fast, KY” speed enforcement campaign. Vision Zero Louisville promotes a multi-layered approach to saving lives, including redesigning roadways to encourage appropriate speeds and improving trauma-related care for crash victims.

Feeders Pet Supply is excited to announce a new partnership with Metro Animal Services (MAS), designed to increase pet adoption rates and improve animal welfare across the community. Starting in August, MAS will establish satellite adoption centers within Feeders Pet Supply stores on Preston Highway, Hikes Point, and Valley Station. A dedicated satellite dog adoption center will also open in mid-August at the Valley Station location.
This collaborative effort aims to make pet adoption more accessible and convenient for Louisville residents. By integrating MAS adoption services within Feeders Pet Supply’s popular store locations, prospective pet owners can meet and adopt cats and dogs while shopping for their pet care needs.
“Our mission at Feeders Pet Supply has always been to support and enhance the lives of pets and their families,” said Brannon Dixon, CEO of Feeders Pet Supply. “By working with MAS, we are making it easier for animals in need to find forever homes and for our customers to make a meaningful difference in their lives.”
|
Adam Hamilton, Interim Director of MAS, echoed this excitement: “This partnership with Feeders Pet Supply represents a significant step forward in our mission to connect animals with loving homes. We are grateful for Feeders Pet Supply’s commitment and support, which will help us expand our reach and provide more opportunities for pet adoptions. Together, we hope to make a lasting impact on our community and the lives of countless animals.”
The satellite adoption centers will feature a selection of cats and dogs for adoption. The Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg Road, will still offer regular adoption events and educational resources to the community.
Feeders Pet Supply and MAS invite all pet lovers to visit the adoption centers, explore the wonderful pets available for adoption, and support this meaningful initiative.
For more information about the satellite adoption centers and adoption process, please visit Feeders Pet Supply’s website, feederspetsupply.com or Metro Animal Services’ website, louisvilleky.gov/government/animal-services.
