How to Get There Using the Fixed Route System
We encourage you to use our Fixed Route transit system whenever possible. Many passengers use the fixed route when they can, and use Dial a Ride services when their trip requires a long walk to their bus stop or destination.
Advantages of the Fixed Route:
- There’s no need to call in advance for a ride.
- The bus runs on a regular schedule so you can plan your own trips and return trips.
- It keeps you in contact with your community, including our friendly drivers.
We have provided a video below about how to use the fixed route transit system for some or all of your trips. Please contact us if you need additional information about how to use the fixed routes.
