On March 5 COAST announced, the proposed elimination of COAST Route 7 bus service, and all associated ADA paratransit service, due to a lack of political and financial support in multiple communities along the route.
In order to inform the public of the basis for the proposed actions, as well as solicit public comment, COAST has established a number of public hearings/meetings within the service corridor. These meetings will be held as follows:
| Date | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday, March 31, 2015 | 11:00am | Great Bay Community College (Pease Campus) |
| Tuesday, March 31, 2015 | 3:00pm | Newmarket Town Hall |
| Wednesday, April 1, 2015 | 6:30pm | Exeter Public Library |
| Thursday, April 2, 2015 | 3:30pm | Exeter Public Library |
The locations and times have been chosen to ensure riders could use COAST services to attend the meetings.
