Service Change: January 25, 2026

TARTA is proposing major changes to routing beginning January 25, 2026, which if approved would impact nearly every route. TARTA seeks feedback on proposed changes, which would include but would not be limited to:

Service every 30 minutes for routes 3, 10, 20 and 31 between the hours of 6:30-9:30 a.m. and 2:30-5:30 p.m.
The extension of Route 2 to Lourdes University
The extension of both fixed route and TARTA Move paratransit service stop time, from 10:49 p.m. to 11:19 p.m.
The new Route 18, which would head to the Meijer on Alexis Road
The elimination of all route letters (i.e. 31H, 20F, 10L etc.). Branches of those routes would be covered by other schedule changes
The elimination of routes 14 and 52
Less frequent service on all routes after 6 p.m. (service every 90 minutes)
