Suffolk Transit - Transit Strategic Plan 

  1. Suffolk Transit Strategic Plan FY2020-FY2029
As a division of the Department of Public Works, Suffolk Transit provides safe, cost-efficient fixed route transit services to Suffolk's core Downtown service area. It also provides fixed route transit services in the Northern Suffolk area as well as providing a connection from Downtown to HRT in the Chesapeake Square area before continuing on to the North Suffolk Library. Suffolk Transit is funded through the City of Suffolk's Transit Fund to provide fixed route and paratransit service to the current service area. In January 2012, Suffolk Transit was formed utilizing Virginia Regional Transit (VRT) as the City's service provider. As the City's partner and contractor, VRT provides the operational staff and support for the system and they work closely with City staff to provide the best transit experience possible.
