Citilink is seeking community feedback on two proposed service updates currently under review.
Over the past 13 years, Fort Wayne has experienced significant changes in development, employment centers, housing patterns, and travel needs. As the city continues to evolve, Citilink must ensure that transit service evolves with it.
To remain reliable and sustainable, Citilink will begin reviewing service more regularly moving forward. These evaluations help the agency understand ridership patterns, reduce duplicate service, strengthen route connections, and ensure resources are being used where riders need them most.
Proposed Service Updates
Citilink is currently reviewing two potential updates:
Route 15 / Route 21 Combination – 21 Medlink
Citilink is proposing to combine Route 15 and Route 21 into a single route called 21 Medlink.
These routes currently serve many of the same areas and have some of the lowest ridership in the Citilink system. Combining them allows Citilink to reduce overlapping service while maintaining access to key destinations such as medical facilities, housing areas, and retail centers.
Citilink is also working in partnership with Parkview Health to support continued access to medical services along this route while monitoring performance over time.
The proposed route would also strengthen connections with other Citilink routes. Route 21 would meet Route 4 Wells/Ludwig at :40 past the hour at Cross Creek at Kelsey Court (behind Meijer). It would also connect with Route 8 Glenbrook/Northrop on Westfield near BioLife, ensuring transfer wait times at that stop of approximately 15 minutes or less during peak hours.
Route 8 Schedule Adjustment
Citilink is also reviewing a schedule adjustment for Route 8 (Glenbrook/Northrop and Calhoun/Southtown). This change would better align the route with other Citilink services to improve timed connections at Central Station and make transfers easier for riders traveling across the network.
Two Separate Proposals
These proposals address different operational needs and are independent of each other. They are being presented at the same public meeting so community members can review both and provide feedback.
Public Meetings
Citilink will host two public meetings on Wednesday, March 25.
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Parkview Mirro Center for Research & Innovation
Conference Room C
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Allen County Public Library – Dupont Branch
Meeting Room A
Community feedback is an important part of the process. Riders and residents are encouraged to attend, review the proposals, ask questions, and share input before final decisions are made. If you are unable to attend the meetings but would still like to give feedback or input, you can also email us at marketing@fwcitilink.com.
We will be taking feedback on these proposals through April 3, 2026.
Thank you for helping us link people to life!
