Walleye Shuttle In Action Every Postseason Home Game

The Toledo Walleye are in the ECHL playoffs for the eighth full season in a row, and TARTA’s Walleye Shuttle will be there to make it easy for fans to catch every home game this postseason.

The Walleye Shuttle offers a $3 round-trip ride to the Huntington Center from five area park-and-ride locations during the playoffs, which begin the week of April 14.

“This is absolutely one of my favorite times of the year to be in Toledo,” said TARTA CEO Laura Koprowski. “There is so much activity downtown that goes with having a quality team on the ice like the Walleye put together every year, and we are so happy to do anything we can to make it easier for fans to watch this team in the playoffs.

“We have made it a point in recent years to increase our Special Event Transportation to put more customers in touch with the things that make this area great. Services like the Walleye Shuttle help ensure that those events are accessible to everyone in Lucas County and Rossford.”

Regular riders of this service – which allows fans to see the Walleye go after the Kelly Cup while avoiding paying for parking downtown – will notice slight differences from the regular season Walleye Shuttle rides. These include a new park-and-ride location for Sylvania, and an adjusted timetable for the Sylvania and Waterville locations.

The Walleye Shuttle will pick up customers at: 

• Sylvania, Lourdes University Franciscan Center, 6832 Convent Blvd., pick-up one hour and 15 minutes before puck drop
• Waterville, Kroger, 8730 Waterville Swanton Road, pick-up one hour and 15 minutes before puck drop 
• Miracle Mile Shopping Center, 1727 West Laskey Road, pick-up one hour before puck drop
• Maumee, Lucas County Recreation Center, 2901 Key Street, pick-up one hour before puck drop
• Oregon, Starr Elementary School, 3230 Starr Avenue, pick-up one hour before puck drop

Each shuttle will head back to park-and-ride locations 20 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
