Attention Riders: Downtown Detours Saturday & Sunday Evenings.

Effective June 2026 until the end of summer, starting at 5 pm, Central buses will be on detour downtown to avoid heavy traffic approaching 8th St. on Saturday and Sunday evenings until end of service if needed. This will improve on-time performance to ensure riders get through downtown quickly.
