What is a Flex Route? What Are Flex Stops?

Flex route buses run on a fixed path and schedule, but passengers can request a special pick-up or stop at designated Flex bus stops on that route.

Flex stops are designated bus stops within the Flex service area where the bus will stop only upon a passenger's request.

Flex routes combine the convenience and affordability of public transit with on-demand access within a dedicated area.

For a Flex Stop Destination, Make Your Request As You Board the Bus

Flex stop pickups are requested by phone, but to be dropped off at a FLEX stop on the route, just make a request with the driver as you board.

Please be mindful: In order to get a Flex stop dropoff, it is important that you let the driver know where you are going at time of boarding.
