DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The DTA will temporarily reduce some fixed-route service on Tuesday.
The changes are due to a current shortage of drivers and the desire to provide reliable service on the remaining routes during the months ahead.
The routes suspended on Tuesday will include:
Route #4 West Duluth (service available on routes 1,2,&3)
Route #15 Park Point (dial-a-ride/on-demand service available by calling 218-722-7283)
Route #18 Duluth Heights (can use UMD Boulder Ridge Shuttle)
Route #23 UMD Circulator (service available on routes 6,11,&13)
Route #25 Downtown Circulator (service available on a combination of several downtown routes)
One outbound “From Downtown” Route 10E trip @ 5:40pm will also be suspended.
These changes do not affect STRIDE Paratransit Service
While there is not a firm date established for restoring the affected routes, DTA officials noted that service will be restored when staffing returns to appropriate levels.
DTA General Manager Phil Pumphrey says they are hiring additional drivers and are working diligently to bring the service back as soon as possible.
