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.
