The plan also include service adjustments, route openings, route closures, stop frequency changes, schedule adjustments and more. A list of all proposed amendments to the VIA system is available online<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If approved by VIA\u2019s board, the changes will go into effect on in January.<\/p>\n
