Duluth Transit (DTA)

We have a new commercial. You might want to check it out! Two Weeks free service - New Bus System - August 27th. youtu.be/DVnC1VFkXuE via @YouTube

@daka_x @wpb003 Great conversation here - we are really excited too. Interestingly enough, we initially wanted the "Blue" line to run parallel to the water, and the "green" line to run up and down the hill. We are always looking at other systems for inspiration though!

@wpb003 The naming and colouring of the lines is straight out of the playbook of Bellingham, Washington which has had this system for years 🧐✨

Speaking of small city transit, how about a system that seems pretty good? Duluth's DTA is launching a reimagined bus network featuring two "Go Lines" with 15-minute service. For such a linear city as Duluth, this makes a ton of sense!

"The new network would expand its well-utilized weekend service by 25%, and prioritize connecting more people to key destinations over having widespread geographic coverage." bit.ly/36JnP84

The DTA’s Better Bus Blueprint Recommended Draft Network expands quality transit to more equity populations to reduce trip times and provide better access to opportunities. Please visit tinyurl.com/BetterBusBluep… to explore the proposed network and submit comments on new routes.

The DTA’s Better Bus Blueprint Recommended Draft Network suggests increasing frequency by establishing two high-frequency routes. By doing so, 16,000+ additional people and 14,000+ additional jobs would be within walking distance of frequent service. tinyurl.com/BetterBusBluep…

We heard from you that the current bus network is challenging to understand and complex. Please visit tinyurl.com/BetterBusBluep… to explore the proposed new network and submit comments on proposed routes.

@djdave2020 We believe you had the chance to talk to our leadership team, and had a positive conversation about this. We appreciate your feedback, but wanted to follow up and make sure you now understand the difficult realities of operating our service with Federal Guidelines. Let us know.

DTA Service Update: Routes 18 and 23 Serving UMD and the surrounding areas will return to service Wednesday, January 13th. They will be curtailed for one day on Monday, January 18th in observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

@JesseRB1996 We certainly are! If you see something like that happen again, please try to find the bus number and let us know. You can reach out on our website or call 218-722-7283.

Great idea for a great cause!

@DYounglings The role of the DTA and other organizations is to educate and remind community members of the ordinance. It is not the role of the DTA to escalate/confront or otherwise enforce. Please refer to the ordinance.

@DuluthTransit Riding Route 5 right now and your driver doesn't seem to care/enforce the mask requirement. This passenger sitting close to me just told another passenger "I don't have to wear a mask" and they never said that they don't have a medical condition or anything.

Due to an extra supply of masks, the Duluth Transit Authority is set to provide over 1000 to customers and the public. Beginning Thursday, June 18th, a mask will be available free of charge at our Downtown Duluth Transit Center (DTC) information booth during staffed hours!

Thanks to the DTA’s youngest communications coworker for helping us emphasize social distancing on buses and how only taking essential trips can save lives! #Transit #COVID19 #Duluth #coronavirus

Effective 3/22: The DTA will shift to a “Rear Door Only” boarding policy. The move will be effective until further notice. Those with mobility impairment/mobility devices (wheel chairs etc.) will still have access to the ramp at the front of the buses. DuluthTransit.com
