River Ave. Park and Ride Opening July 17, 2019

 

• Starting on Wednesday July 17, 2019 the Rivers Ave. Park and Ride will open for passengers.

• All CARTA and Tricounty Link customers should park in the new fenced in area next to Texas Roadhouse starting Wednesday July 17, 2019.  Service times should not change for the Express routes (CARTA) or Commuter Solutions routes (Tricounty Link).

• The buses will no longer come through the T-Mobile/Velocity parking area, so it is very important all passengers park or be dropped off and wait in NEW Park and Ride area.

• Passengers should plan to arrive a little earlier than usual the first few days to have a little extra time to get familiar with the new area and process.

• Staff will be on hand on Wednesday July 17th and throughout opening week to assist passengers with the new parking area.

• CARTA Express and Tricounty Link bus stops will be located at shelters in the parking lot. To assist with efficiency, Route 10 and Route 12 will stop right outside of fenced area near the entrance of the parking lot at Antler and Melnick.

• Bathrooms will be available and open at the Rivers Ave. Park and Ride lot Monday – Friday 5am-8pm.
