Our proposal for A Better Cherriots with Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund dollars is complete
Over the past few months, Cherriots has refined the plan to enhance service using the funds that we'll receive from the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund. This plan was recommended for approval by the Statewide Transportation Improvement Advisory Committee to the Cherriots Board of Directors on October 15, 2018. The plan was approved by the Board on October 25, 2018 and was submitted to the Oregon Department of Transportation on November 1, 2018.
The first phase of the plan for enhanced service will start in September 2019 and continue into future years. The first enhancement to Cherriots Local will be Saturday service and later weekday evenings starting in September 2019. For Cherriots Regional, we'll also add Saturday service and additional trips to some routes on weekdays. To see maps outlining the proposal, click the button below.

The second phase of service enhancements will come in May of 2020. This will include some Sunday service and service on additional holidays for Cherriots Local routes.
Additionally, this plan includes a reduced youth fare for riders aged 6-18 which will be implemented in July of 2018. Stay tuned for updates; we'll let you know as soon as our application is approved by ODOT!
