NORTHWEST ARKANSAS (KFSM) – Ozark Regional Transit has designed and implemented four demonstration routes for workers in Springdale.
The routes will be implemented on Monday (Jun. 1) and will traverse through neighborhoods and thoroughfares, not previously serviced by established bus routes, according to a release.
“This is the opportunity to show how public transit can truly impact a community,” said Joel Gardner, Executive Director of ORT.
These routes, and all other ORT routes, will be available for Tyson-Berry St. employees for free with a Tyson-Berry St. Badge, the release states.
George’s Inc. is also participating in the demonstration routes. George’s employees at their plants on Kansas Street and Porter Avenue will also be able to ride all ORT routes with their ID badges, the release states.
The routes will run through Sept. 4. They will begin as early as 3:05 a.m. and run as late as 2 a.m.
