Category: Rider Alerts

📢 Rider Alert: Route 2 is being redirected at St. Pat’s due to a fallen tree. There’s a tree down at Scott & Broadway as well, and additional detours may be required in the morning if roads remain obstructed.

Multiple employees have reported downed trees and other obstacles that will keep them from being able to access the bus barn safely in the morning, so service reductions are possible depending on operator availability.

If implemented, Routes 1 and 2 would likely move to half-hour service. More detail will be available if service changes are in effect.

Operations staff will determine whether a reduction is necessary early on 7/25, so please check back in the morning for updates.

Mountain Line will be closed on Thursday, July 4, with no fixed-route or Paratransit service available. Normal weekday service resumes on Friday, July 5.

(Did you know? We are on the road 361 days a year, with an extra day on leap years! July 4 is one of just four days with no service.)
