LINK TO HOW TO RIDE GUIDE 2025
The DTA provides regular route services, along with origin destination services for disabled riders with STRIDE (Special Transit Ride) in Duluth, Proctor and Superior, Wisconsin.
Buses are equipped with accessible ramps for wheelchair riders and have “kneeling” capabilities for easy boarding. Some buses have traditional manual wheelchair securements, and 9 buses now feature a Quantum automatic system in addition to a traditional one. Two-tray bike racks are on each bus, and are compatible with tire widths of up to 4.75″ and bike weights of up to 55 lbs. Several on-board surveillance cameras provide added security for our rides and operators.
FAST FACTS
- Nearly 80 percent of Duluth and Superior residents live within walking distance of a bus stop
- The DTA operates 15 different routes
- There are approximately 850 bus stops and more than 100 bus shelters throughout the DTA’s service area in the Twin Ports.
If your route requires you to change buses, transfers are FREE upon request when boarding and valid on any other DTA Route for one hour after being issued. As some DTA routes are interlined with other bus routes, you sometimes have the option of staying on the same bus without transferring when the bus travels through the Duluth Transportation Center (DTC) downtown. Refer to the last “Destination” column on the time tables within each route’s passenger hand schedules for more information.
Commuting on the DTA is convenient and easy thanks to peak-hour service schedules designed to get passengers to major employment areas such as downtown, hospitals, and the mall area. Low fares and unlimited-ride fare passes make riding the DTA affordable.
