Northern Route Coming to Valdosta Shuttle Pilot Program

Staff Report From Valdosta CEO

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

Effective Monday, March 21st, 2016 the Valdosta Shuttle Pilot Program will expand its service area by providing a Northern Route option in addition to its existing Southern Route. The shuttle for the Northern Route will be identified with a blue label on the side of the vehicle, while the current Southern Route will continue with its yellow label. The pilot program is slated to end on June 30, 2016.
 
In addition to the Pilot Shuttle Program, the Valdosta-Lowndes Metropolitan Planning Organization is exploring options for implementation of additional public transit in the Valdosta Urbanized Area. The stops along the Northern Route were identified based on feedback received directly from a community survey and current shuttle riders. The survey is available online at:

Citizens are encouraged to participate in the survey which is available through March 31st.
 
The shuttle is free to clients who fill out the mandatory Consumer Registration Form, which is available online at www.sgrc.us, under the Transportation link.
