Regional Transfit Offers Free Rides

To show appreciation for another great year of serving Northwest Arkansas, Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) is offering free-fare days for the upcoming Christmas holiday.

Bus fare for all Fixed Route Transit buses will be free of charge the week of Christmas (Dec. 19 -- Dec. 23).

ORT offices will be closed for Christmas Eve-observed, Friday, December 23 and New Years Even-observed, Friday, December 30, but bus services will be running on both days. All operations will be suspended for the holidays on Monday, December 26 and Monday, January 2. The exception will be the new Commuter Express route which will begin operations on Monday, January 2.

ORT fixed routes service multiple shopping areas including Frisco Station Mall, Harp's Stores, Northwest Arkansas Mall, The Promenade Mall and Wal-Mart.

Local businesses in the smaller communities of Farmington, Greenland, Johnson, Lincoln, Prairie Grove and West Fork are also serviced by bus routes.

Free fare applies to ORT's Fixed Route Service only. Curb-to-Curb Service via our Demand-Response and Paratransit minivans, will remain at their current fare rates.

ORT would like to extend Happy Holiday wishes to everyone in our regional community.
