Service Alerts

Plans are in place for The Duluth Transit Authority to hold a Public Comment Open House event virtually on Monday, January 25^th regarding the following proposed changes to fare structure:

• The reduction of a single-day bus pass with unlimited rides from $4.00 to $3.00;
• The reduction of a seven-day bus pass with unlimited rides during that period from $17.00 to $15.00;
• The reduction of a 31-day youth bus pass from $37.50 to $30.00.

The DTA proposes to discontinue the acceptance of pennies in its fareboxes to speed up boarding, and to discontinue the sale of 90/180/360-day pass formats. The 90-day Summer youth pass for ages 5-19 will, however, still be available. The proposed changes have been approved by the Duluth Transit Authority Board of Directors to proceed forward for public comment under our Public Comment Policy and Title VI program.

The DTA will hold a public hearings/comment meeting via Zoom on Monday, January 25^th, from 3:00p.m-5:00p.m. Members of The Duluth Transit Authority leadership team will be on hand to answer questions and receive comments. Comments can also be sent by mail to DTA/Route Changes at 2402 W. Michigan Street, Duluth, MN 55806 or via email to planning@duluthtransit.com
