TARTA Plans Special Transportation To Maumee Music Fest, Toledo Fireworks

Monday marks the start of one of the busiest weeks of the summer, and TARTA wants to make it easier for families to reach the events that help make it great.

TARTA has planned Special Event Transportation for both the City of Toledo’s Fireworks in the 419 and the Uptown Maumee Music Fest. These shuttles will provide a round trip ride from a park-and-ride location to the event area and back, helping attendees avoid looking for parking near the event.

Those wanting to check out Fireworks in the 419 this Friday, July 4 can take a shuttle from Franklin Park Mall directly downtown (Jackson & Superior streets). Buses leave Franklin Park Mall’s Royer Road stop every 30 minutes, beginning at 8 p.m., with the last trip headed downtown at 10 p.m. Shuttles will return from Jackson and Superior 20 minutes after the end of the fireworks show.

TARTA’s Special Event Transportation to the Uptown Maumee Music Fest will run Thursday, July 3, with trips from the Lucas County Rec Center to E. John and Conant streets and back. Shuttles run every 30 minutes beginning at 1:30 p.m., with the last shuttle back to the Fairgrounds taking off at 12:30 a.m.

Customers can also take TARTA’s regular fixed route service to either location. See tarta.com or download Transit App to plan your trip.
