City of Pendleton issued the following announcement on May 20.
The City of Pendleton invites community members to attend a Pendleton Transit Open House to weigh in on the proposed Bus Barn Facility and potential new bus routes.
The City of Pendleton is expanding its public transit programs and moving forward with building a new bus barn facility near the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport to secure, house and protect the city’s public transportation vehicles. Community members are encouraged to attend a drop-in Open House to learn more about potential bus barn facility designs and talk with city staff. The Community Open House has been scheduled for 4:30-6 p.m. on Thursday, June 2, at the Pendleton Convention Center
The planning phase of the Pendleton Bus Barn facility is funded through a grant received from the Oregon Department of Transportation. The City of Pendleton does not currently have a facility to house its public transportation fleet, which includes four ADA buses and six ADA mini vans to provide a variety of public transit services to its citizens. The “Let ‘Er Bus” Deviated Bus Route Services, available to the public at no cost, operates Mondays through Fridays and provides 11 daily runs to over 20 stops located through Pendleton. Additional transit programs include Senior & Individuals with Disabilities taxi tickets, general public taxi tickets, a daily “Dial-A-Ride” van service serving the general public, Parks and Recreation summer park rides, and an aquatic center summer transport. The City contracts with Elite Taxi, Inc for these services.
