The emergence of the COVID-19 Pandemic affected people, businesses and services like Lincoln’s transit system beginning in March 2020. Lincoln Transportation and Utilities StarTran bus service experienced a dip in ridership that now gives the City an opportunity to evaluate strategies for returning to pre-pandemic ridership levels. In February 2021, ridership was about 60% of levels from a year earlier. With assistance and feedback from Lincoln residents, the StarTran Transit Development Plan (TDP) will examine a variety of efforts for returning to pre-pandemic ridership levels and also recommend other improvements to transit services.
