Building a Better Bayway

Take Our Survey for a Chance to Win $100!

Bayway is updating its Transit Development Plan (TDP), and we want your input. As Bay County continues to grow, Bayway is planning for the future by evaluating opportunities to improve transit service, strengthen connections and better meet the needs of our community. 

The Transit Development Plan Major Update will evaluate opportunities to:

  • Obtaining feedback on the current Bayway system 
  • Identify areas for new or expanded service
  • Expand microtransit services
  • Support continued system growth 

Your feedback will help guide decisions about how Bayway can better serve riders today and for years to come.

How the Planning Process Works

Throughout this planning process, we’ll gather community input, evaluate potential improvements, and develop a roadmap for the future of public transportation.

Phase 1 – Listen

We’re gathering feedback from riders, residents, and community stakeholders through an online survey and public meetings. Your experiences and ideas will help us understand current travel patterns and identify priorities for future improvements.

Phase 2 – Plan

Using community feedback and technical analysis, Bayway will develop proposed improvements designed to create a more efficient, connected, and responsive transit system.

Phase 3 – Share

Once the proposed Transit Development Plan Major Update is complete, we’ll share the recommendations with riders, stakeholders, and the community before finalizing the plan.
