TARC will provide increased service to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Oaks (May 4) and Derby (May 5) on existing routes that will detour away from the track starting at about 4:30 p.m. on both race days.
Routes providing the closest access are: #4 – Fourth Street; #6 – Sixth Street; and #29 – Eastern Parkway. Passengers are encouraged to plan their trips ahead by checking Oaks and Derby routes and schedules on TARC’s website.
After the races, due to detours, buses will pick up passengers at different stops than where they were dropped off. Map above shows drop-off and pick-up points for each route. A separate listing of detours is below. Non-Derby TARC riders also will be affected by detours near the track.
On Derby and Oaks days, TARC service will be available at the regularly scheduled times on all routes that are not on detour for the races. Regular fares will apply. Oneway adult cash fare is $1.75. Route #4 covers parts of downtown, the University of Louisville, Old Louisville, and neighborhoods near Iroquois Park. Route #6 provides service in downtown, Iroquois Park neighborhoods and the area near Auburndale. Route #29 connects Shively, U of L, the Highlands and St. Matthews.
TARC will also be providing free shuttle service to/from Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Exposition Center on Thurby, Oaks and Derby Days (May 3 – 5).

 Twelve local students have been
selected by TARC employees as winners of the 19th annual
Design-A-Bus contest. The winners will have their artwork displayed on a TARC
bus that will travel throughout Louisville for the next year, and will be seen
in this year’s Republic Bank Pegasus Parade on Thursday, May 3.
This year’s theme is “Daffodils Are Back” based on the
commitment by Brightside and TARC to help promote sustainability and
environmental well-being across Greater Louisville Communities. |
