Runners, volunteers and spectators parking in the 12th Ave & Florida area can board Route 32 at the Transit Center and disembark at 7th Ave and New York St, two blocks from LifeWorks.

Regular fares will be charged ($1 for adults, $0.50 seniors/persons with disabilities), but youth 18 & under can ride free with a Youth pass, state or school ID, or showing your middle/high school running gear, if competing.

Catch Route 32 at the same stop to return to the Transit Center. Your transfer ticket or pass will cover the fare.

October Service Changes

Posted on by Tabitha Hayden

Effective October 2, 2023, RiverCities Transit is making changes to routes 45, 46, and 411 (Lexington Connector).

Route 45

Route 45 will have an additional trip, Monday – Friday at 4:30 pm departing the Transit Center.

Route 46

RiverCities Transit is adjusting the routing on Route 46. Once on 15th Avenue, Route 46 will continue south until Beech St., where it will turn left and continue to the 7th Ave Wal-Mart. The other change is after the bus leaves the Longview Transit Center. Rather than turn on Hudson the bus will continue to Broadway St. and then turn left on 7th Ave, right on Catlin St, then onto the Kelso Train Depot.

Route 411 – Lexington Connector

The changes to Route 411 – Lexington Connector include both additional service and a slight routing change. Route 411 will have an additional run at 1:15; filling one of the two gaps that are currently in the weekday schedule. Currently the bus travels north on 411 to Tim Wa mobile home park; the service change has the bus turning at Aaron Drive, left on Desert Inn, left on Ponderosa, then south on 411.
