<br /> such as ridesharing, bike share, and microtransit to new technologies such as autonomous vehicles,
<br /> battery technology, and intelligent transportation systems,the tools available to provide mobility solutions
<br /> continues to evolve.Therefore,the plan and the steps Everett Transit takes to implement the plan should
<br /> be continuously monitored, discussed and revised as necessary to ensure that we are providing the most
<br /> efficient and effective service to support a growing city.

<br /> the public and stakeholders to help guide how the agency should serve the community. Highlighted below
