The FRTA has started to visit local businesses and agencies to replace bus schedules with the new routes that just came out at the beginning of March.

If you know of anyone that can use new schedules, please reach out to us so that we can get to the businesses and update things accordingly. 

The current schedules will have an effective date of March 1, 2026 on them - anyone seeing schedules dated 2024 that are not labeled for weekends can dispose of them.

Thank you!

Just wanting to alert passengers that we do have new schedules that went into effect as of March 1.

Everything on our website is now correct but we did want to point out that route 21 does have a different time point in the afternoon when departing from the JWO. We used to leave at 2:15 and we are now leaving at 2:10.

Please share this post and take a look at the new schedules if you haven’t had a chance to! We have made some small changes, but also added some new service.

If you have any questions give us a call!!

While we wait for all of our fixed schedules to be printed, please note that the website and PassioGo is up-to-date with the most current schedules.

03/03/2026

Our Link413 services for the remainder of the day have been canceled due to the inclement weather.

Please be patient with our drivers as they try to navigate this. Our goal is to get you to where you’re going and back safely so our buses may be running a little bit behind schedule.

If you need assistance, please contact Dispatch at 413773.8090 extension three
