Division of Transit Services

Division of Transit Services Transit Services provides a critical service to residents and visitors of Frederick County, with nearly 550,000 trips provided in FY22. Scheduled service is offered on ten Connector Routes, operating in the City of Frederick and Walkersville, and seven Shuttles operating throughout the County and connecting to rural communities. Transit plus provides demand-response paratransit service for older adults and people with disabilities countywide. All Connector Routes operate Monday Friday 5:30 AM - 9:30 PM and seven provide additional service on Saturdays from 7:30 AM - 9:45 PM. Connector routes operate on a regular schedule and most can deviate within a 3/4 mile range for passengers who are unable to board at the

stop location because of a disability. The Shuttles operate weekdays between Frederick and Emmitsburg/Thurmont, Brunswick/Jefferson, the Point of Rocks MARC station, East Frederick, North Frederick, downtown MARC station, and the Route 85 business corridor. Strategic Goals Improve transit access and ridership through progressive increases in service, span, and frequency to make transit an attractive and usable alternative to driving alone, culminating in an essential public service that provides connections to Target and surpass pre-pandemic ridership within three years.
