RT 43 Detour
We will be detouring Route 43 from Depot Avenue between South Main Street and SW 6th Street for about three weeks starting Monday, June 17. Patrons may use stops at Royal Village or the Rosa Parks Downtown Station for service while the roadway is closed for construction. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Beginning Monday, May 6, we will begin our Summer Schedule with Reduced Service until Monday, May 12. There will be no UF campus service. Note that Routes 22, 27, 28, 29, 39, 46, 62 and 76 will not be running this Summer. Later Gator will be suspended until July 5. Please see attachments below for more information.

We are having a contest for our patrons. Be one of the first 5 people to correctly identify the new RTS logo and the bus number where it is and win a RTS stuff. Responses must be made on the RTS Facebook page as comments to the announcing post. Good Hunting!!

RTS Severe
Weather Policy
Whenever the National Weather Service issues a severe weather warning or watch for Alachua County and surrounding areas, RTS will provide regular city fixed route and campus shuttle service until sustained winds reach 39 mph. At that time RTS buses will finish their current run and service will be suspended for the duration of the emergency. RTS will suspend service for complementary Paratransit Service when sustained winds reach 35 mph.
