What's up Albuquerque Fam! We participated in the #paintforpeace505 mural show on July 17, 2020 with Alvarado Transit Center as one of the mural sites. We are proud to show solidarity with the community because this is the perfect time to stand together. One Albuquerque.
The last few weeks have been a troubling and soul-stirring time for our country and our city. There have been calls for justice, understanding, equality, and especially change to the status of those among us who lack a voice in the conversation about the soul of our country.
Transit is a part of the city that serves all races, creeds, colors and class without regard to their differences. We are an entity within the city that has been etched into the national memory of the struggle for civil rights, and in Albuquerque, we strive daily to maintain a high level of civility and honor with everyone who rides a bus.
In this regard, we stand with our mayor and our governor in saying Black Lives Matter, because it is a call to end a way of thinking that has left members of our community, voiceless, vulnerable and pushed out of the light of true democracy that all people should benefit from.
At Transit, we practice equality and equanimity. We must, in order to correctly serve the city. It is not a matter of accommodation. It is an answer to the social contract that we have with our citizens. If you live here, we will provide a way for you to freely move throughout the city; safely and at a price that we can all afford. Because Transit is a grand equalizer in regards to creating opportunities for social mobility, based on affordable transportation to and from work. This is why we stand with the movement. We appreciate and support the efforts of law enforcement in all they do to keep the city safe. We understand that they have one of the hardest roads to walk right now. In that spirit of understanding and the struggles of everyone involved, we ask that we collectively do our best to understand the position of those who differ and find ways to coexist peacefully.
On Tuesday, July 21 only, the two Route #5-Montgomery/Carlisle/Lomas bus stops on Carlisle, between Candelaria and Comanche will be closed due to concrete pouring in the area. Temporary stops will be available in the area throughout the day. For more information, go to the link below:
Information about ABQ RIDE route detours and route delays.
By order of our Governor, face masks or face coverings are required in all public places, this includes public transportation. Wearing a face mask or face covering not only protects our drivers, but also other passengers on the bus. Please be a responsible rider.

When Cities Replace Police with Social Workers
City leaders across the country are considering how to rethink police departments. They have many examples to look to—from brand new pilots to programs decades in the making.
Good information to know about where you can be tested in Albuquerque if you have COVID-19 symptoms or are asymptomatic.

On Saturday, June 13, ART service resumes with a Saturday-type schedule, however with earlier starting times. Also, regular ABQ RIDE service is expanding as the city reopens. However, commuter routes are still shelved, as well as those that serve the Rail Runner (until the train is running again). For more information, go to abqride.com and click on the News section. Or just go to the Routes and Schedules page to see the changes. Thanks!
The Write and Ride program is back! Don McIver, our host, has taken us digital with more prompts and poetry…all from the comfort of the ART bus. Watch the prompts for the monthly subjects and send your submissions to Don at [email protected].

We wanted to say thank you to all the people in our organization and in the community who helped us come up with masks for our essential employees.
