Planning and Community Outreach Effort Launched to Gain Citizen Input on Flagstaff’s Future Transit Needs

FLAGSTAFF — Mountain Line is launching a comprehensive community outreach initiative aimed at planning the future of transit in Flagstaff.

As the community’s 10-year transit tax approved in 2016 that funds the city’s bus system approaches expiration, Mountain Line wants to engage the community in dialogue and decision-making about a potential extension and increase of this funding source in the November 2024 election.

Climate change-themed artwork installed on Mountain Line buses

Through a collaboration between the City of Flagstaff’s Beautification and Public Art Commission and the Sustainability Commission, Mountain Line recently installed artwork reflecting the theme of climate change and hope on five of its buses. The project accomplishes several goals, including spreading hopeful climate change messaging, beautifying the city’s streetscape and providing opportunity for artists in the Flagstaff community.

Designs by Dana Kamberg, Beau Arenas Ortiz, Kayley Quick, Luke Giles, and Nate Nise were selected by community members and the artists will be recognized at the September 21 Flagstaff City Council meeting. Photos of the designs, along with brief biographies of the artists, can be found at https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/4673/Climate-Change-and-Hope-Bus-Artwork.
