Our

Community Connections Program

The Blue Bus is dedicated to helping our residents stay connected to the local and surrounding communities. We have expanded services available to eligible community members who have needs that fall outside our standard operating schedule. Through our Community Connections Program you may be able to schedule rides outside of our normal business hours, to surrounding counties such as Gratiot, Ionia, and Shiawassee County, and in some instances even further.

If you require a ride outside our normal business hours or to an expanded zone or territory, please call our dispatcher to discuss your situation and how we might be able to help.

You may schedule transportation for your office, a group of friends, or an organization to get to and from an event or location. When you schedule a group trip, we can guarantee that there will be adequate space on the bus or van for your group. However, we cannot guarantee and cannot provide exclusive transportation for your group. There is a reasonable chance that other passengers will be on the bus or an additional stop or two will be made on the way to and from your event.
