Dear St. Albans Downtown Shuttle Riders,

Today, Monday August 24th, due to utility work there will be a detour route for the Downtown Shuttle. This will not affect route stops or times, simply a deviated route.

The temporary route will be S Elm to Lower Welden, west on Lower Welden to Edward St, right on to Lake St east bound, right on to Catherine St South bound, to Allen St South Bound, left on to Lower Welden which puts the bus back on route.

Thank you for understanding.
Have a great day!

Dear St. Albans riders,

Due to staffing shortages, the St. Albans Downtown Shuttle will not operate on Saturday July 25th.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these temporary staffing challenges.

Thank you for your support and for riding RCT.

Transportation is a lifeline in rural communities. At RCT, we ensure that individuals have access to essential services such as healthcare, education, employment, and groceries—services that many take for granted but can be out of reach without reliable transportation.
