Temporary Reduced Service Due to COVID-19
Starting Saturday March 28, 2020: No ART service – temporarily suspended all days of the week.
All other routes will run Saturday service all days except Sunday. Regular Sunday service will run on Sundays.
A Saturday service also means the only route going onto Kirtland Air Force Base is the #157-Montaño/Uptown/Kirtland. The first trip to arrive on base will be at 8:31a.m

Some great advice from Mayor Keller about staying safe from the COVID-19 virus.
Washing your hands properly and frequently is an important way to help #FlattenTheCurve. What’s your kids favorite song to pass that 20 seconds to? #onealbuquerque #alltogethernm

Important message from Mayor Tim Keller. He's declared a state of local emergency to tap into funds available for recovery and response to the crisis.
Mayor Keller Declares Local State of Emergency to Tap Into Funds for Recovery and Response (See personal message from Mayor Keller below)
UPDATE: Directing resources to response and recovery, allows City to tap into State and Federal Funding
Today, Mayor Tim Keller declared a local public health emergency (video available on YouTube and downloadable on Dropbox) due to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, joining dozens of states and local governments, including the City of Rio Rancho, that are dedicating additional resources to an outbreak the World Health Organization has formally designated as a global pandemic.
The emergency declaration (attached) allows the City to direct funds for the coronavirus response and request additional resources from the state and federal government.
“We are continuing to take action to slow the spread of the coronavirus and help the most vulnerable folks in our community,” said Mayor Tim Keller. “Like many mayors across the nation, declaring this public health emergency declaration gives us the tools to allocate resources to immediate needs and tap into additional funds for recovery and response.”
This declaration does not:
• Limit the sale or transfer of firearms
• Prohibit the sale of liquor
• Close streets
• Declare a curfew
Yesterday, Mayor Keller convened a series of virtual meetings with public safety officials, business leaders and the Volunteers Advisory Board to discuss the state of the public health emergency in Albuquerque. He did emphasize that while there are many blessings that come with being the largest metropolitan area in roughly 1,000 square miles, it also means that we have by far the most connectivity and density in the region through our shopping malls, airport, hospitals and other large facilities. Thus, going forward the City may have to have stronger restrictions than the rest of the state, and other New Mexico cities, in the near future.
The best way to slow the spread of COVID-19 is to practice proactive social distancing. It is crucial that the public avoid large gatherings, order food from restaurants to-go, work from home and stay home in general if at all possible. The symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to the flu, with fever, coughing, and trouble breathing. The City is urging those who believe they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 to call the New Mexico Department of Health at 855-600-3453.
The latest information on City facilities, programs and events will be continuously updated here: https://www.cabq.gov/news/coronavirus-impacts-on-city-services.
Yesterday, Mayor Keller signed the public health emergency powers provisions, O-20-4, which was passed at Monday’s City Council meeting. Previous to passage, the Mayor already had general emergency powers that can be used in this, or other general emergency situations, for a 48 hour period. This new provision only provides specifically for “public health” situations.
Students 18 and under can now ride free on ABQ RIDE (students 10 and under still have to be accompanied by an adult). This is so students will have access to Grab & Go meals at 89 APS sites, while schools are closed. For more information and the 89 sites that are serving the meals, go to the link below:

ABQ RIDE is putting an extra layer of safety between passengers and bus drivers and the COVID-19 virus. It is cleaning and disinfecting buses not only overnight, but also during the day. A YouTube link here for what we’re doing: https://youtu.be/LxE3DJPi77Y
ABQ RIDE is using a comprehensive approach to keep fixed bus and Sun Van riders and drivers as safe as possible.
Service is running as normal, and ABQ RIDE is reminding riders to frequently wash their hands, cough into the crooks of their arms or a tissue, and call the NMDOH hotline if you feel you have COVID-19 symptoms.
We are cleaning and disinfecting every bus and Sun Van each night, bringing in ten additional temporary staff to assist with that workload.
ABQ RIDE will place new information about any service changes or updates on its message monitors at ART platforms, push notices on the ABQ RIDE App, ABQ RIDE website, Text2Ride service, social media platforms, and signs on fare boxes on the buses. 311 is also a great resource for people looking for information.
Three ABQ RIDE routes (#'s 16, 140/141 & 157) will be temporarily on detour for about 90 minutes on Saturday, March 14 due to an event in the Gibson/Louisiana area of SE Albuquerque. For detour details, go to the link below:

The Transit Advisory Board meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2020 has been cancelled. Also, the Paratransit Advisory Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 also has been cancelled. Given the news that COVID-19 presumptive cases have been found in New Mexico and the recent recommendation from the Governor’s office (to cancel any non-essential events), for everyone’s safety both the TAB and PTAB boards decided to cancel their meetings. The boards encourage everyone to stay home, especially if they're sick.
Enjoyed the Urban Land Institute's tour of development on Central, via the ART system. Much development on Central the past few years and is continuing.
Placemaking brings together cultural resources and transportation options to accelerate economic development. The ULI New Mexico hosted "Arriving by ART" to showcase how this approach to growth is strengthening our #OneAlbuquerque community. We are proud to support this event and appreciate all who came along yesterday. Mayor Tim Keller put it best, "thank you to everyone for believing in the power of design."

Second in a series of ART videos by our Mayor, Tim Keller. He drives through the only intersection where you actually cross over the ART lane, on Central at San Pasquale. The Mayor breaks it down in an easy to understand manner.
