All bus routes and services in the Des Moines metro are slated to change in summer 2026 in what Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority officials describe as a once-in-a-lifetime overhaul.

The draft plan, now open for public feedback before final approval, marks the first full bus network redesign in more than a decade.
