Carroll Transit System, operated by Ride With Us, is open on Veterans Day and has agreed to operate the Veterans Shuttle to provide in-county, demand response services to Veterans on Veterans Day. The service will be provided at no cost to Carroll County Veterans.

Veterans must be registered to utilize the Veterans Shuttle and the Bureau of Aging & Disabilities located at 125 Stoner Avenue in Westminster will process the registrations Monday-Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm; the agency telephone number is 410-386-3800.

Carroll Transit System will schedule the rides once the Veteran is registered. Veterans must be registered and contact CTS by November 9th to schedule pick up and destination locations; the ride can be scheduled by calling Carroll Transit System at 410-363-0622.

Carroll Transit System operated by Ride With Us will begin an Evening Demand Response Service effective December 5th for a six month pilot period.

The service will operate Monday through Friday from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM within a five mile radius of the Westminster Public Library. This new evening service is in addition to the regular daytime TrailBlazer routes in Eldersburg, South Carroll, Taneytown and Westminster and the county-wide Demand Response service.

“Citizens have asked for additional evening hours and we feel that the best way to determine evening transportation demand is to run this Westminster-based pilot service.  Citizens and students who need transportation to schools, to the library and to shopping areas will be able to use this evening service at normal daytime rates. If ridership is steady and growing then the county will look at the feasibility of making this evening service permanent” stated Jeff Topper, Deputy Director of Public Works.

Citizens interested in using the evening service should call Carroll Transit System at 410-363-0622 at least one day in advance to schedule a pick up time and location. General rider information can be found on the CTCS website at www.carrolltransitsystem.com.
