The first will be held at 2:00 p.m. at Gainesville State College in Student Center Room A. The second will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Georgia Mountains Center in the Board Room.
A rate hike on fares was proposed at a Hall County Commission meeting last month as a way to save to both the Red Rabbit and Dial-a-Ride. Gainesville City Council members okayed the idea, and Community Service Center director Phillipa Lewis-Moss coordinated the public hearings.
Both Hall County and the city of Gainesville financially support the public transit system.
In addition to discussing a fare increase, officials will discuss other changes at the public hearings, including the possible elimination and/or reconfiguration of one or more bus routes.
