NEW Rhody Express Route!

WELCOME ABOARD!  The Rhody Express, Florence's public transportation provider, starts a new route beginning April 1st.  Patrons of the Rhody Express can now ride to Three Rivers Casino in addition to the robust service that includes stops like Safeway, Fred Meyer, Peace Harbor Hospital, Grocery Outlet, and Bay Street.

Take a look at the new brochure for route information, timetable and how to get services if you cannot access the bus due to a disabling condition.  The fare is $1 one-way or $2 round-trip or for all day service.  If you need assistance with the route map or time table please call the Rhody Express at 541-902-2067 or 7-1-1 (TTY - Oregon Relay).

The Rhody Express is accessible!  The Rhody Express vehicle is accessible to people who ride mobility devices.  The driver will assist with lift boarding and securement.  Anyone can request the lift to help board the bus.

Bus Buddies are here to help!  If you need help learning how to use the bus or would like a buddy to ride with you the first few times, call the Rhody Express and ask for a Bus Buddy.  These experienced riders are available and ready to help.  541-902-2067 or 7-1-1 (TTY - Oregon Relay).

What if I cannot access the bus?  If you experience a disabling condition that prevents you from using the Rhody Express, you may qualify for the Rhody Dial-a-Ride, a service that can take you from point A to point B.  You must live within three-quarters of a mile from the bus route and participate in an in-person eligibility assessment to access this service.  Fore more information, including eligibility questions, call the RideSource Call Center toll-free at 1-877-800-9899 or 7-1-1 (TTY - Oregon Relay).

How to read the timetable - The Rhody Express route is divided into two loops - the North Loop and the South Loop.  The timetable contains timepoints for major stops along the route.  Locate the timepoint before the stop where you want to catch the bus.  Read down the column to find the time you want to travel, and wait at your stop at the time listed on the timetable.  For example, if you are boarding between the stop at Grocery Outlet and the stop at the Dollar Tree, be sure to be at your stop at the time listed for the Grocery Outlet rather than the time listed for the Dollar Tree.

Rhody Express Capacity - The Rhody Express has capacity for 16 people seated facing forward.  The front seats are designated for older adults and people with disabilities.  A bike rack on the front bumper has capacity for two bicycles.
