Bus Route Brochure (updated feb 2011)
Through a partnership between the cities of Lake Jackson, Angleton, Clute, Freeport, Brazosport College, along with other regional stakeholders and Connect Transit/Gulf Coast Center, the new transit service is up and running. Local officials, stakeholders and Connect Transit have worked persistently over the last several years to successfully implement regional transit service that would meet both the needs of the individual cities and the regional as a whole. As a result, low cost mobility will be available for persons with limited transportation options and other individuals who wish to use alternate transportation.
Total operating cost for the service will be $973,080 for the first year of operation. The four cities have budgeted $115,000 combined towards the first year of operation. State and federal formula funds along with fare box revenues will provide for the remainder of the operating cost of service. Seven new wheelchair accessible buses purchased by Connect Transit and equipped with bicycle racks will run the routes. Routes are identified by the Color of the vehicle. The Regional Route is Gold, Brazosport is Green, Lake Jackson/Clute Circulator is Blue, Angleton Circulator is Purple and the Freeport Circulator is Red.
Selected locations throughout the region including transfer centers and locations with high passenger traffic will have bus shelters, benches and information kiosks. The three transfer locations will be at Angleton City Hall, Brazosport College and Baywood Foods in Freeport.
Fares are $ 1.00 for adults and $ 0.50 seniors, students (5 – 17) and persons with disabilities. Children under 5 ride free. You may be passes on the buses or pay daily as you ride.
