Your Moscow Food Co-op Board of Directors recently met with Andie Severson, Executive Director of the Moscow Smart Transit program, and heard about this wonderful program that provides safe, convenient, and affordable transportation in the Moscow area. Perhaps you are already using Smart Transit! In fact, this program is so affordable that, for riders taking fixed routes, the ride is free.
Two fixed routes are currently available. covering both the east and west sides of town, with stops at the places that community members most frequently visit including medical facilities, grocery stores, schools, recreational facilities, downtown businesses, and residential areas. The Smart Transit service currently runs a bus six days per week: Monday through Friday from 6:40 am to 7 pm, and on Saturday from 7:30 am to 2 pm. You can find the schedules and map for the bus at https://www.smarttransit.org/. All buses are ADA wheelchair accessible.
Door-to-door service is also available through the Smart Transit Dial-a-A-Ride program at very affordable fares. This service is available to all the Moscow community, with priority given to eligible ADA riders, for whom no fare is charged. For more information on the Dial-A-Ride program, refer to the Smart Transit webpage.
Smart Transit is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is supported by the United Way, the City of Moscow, University of Idaho, Idaho Transportation Department, the US Department of Transportation, and private donations.
