LINX Transit Services to be Restored – Monday, October 12th, 2020

The City of Lebanon will be resuming all LINX Transit service on Monday, October 12th, 2020.  Transit service and operating hours have been reduced since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  As of Monday, October 12th, LINX Transit will operate Monday through Friday, from 7:00am to 6:00pm, with Dispatch available at 7:45.  We will operate the deviated fixed route LOOP, demand response service (call to make ride arrangements) and serve up to three miles outside the city limits.  Please call us at 541-258-4920 to schedule a ride or for more information. 

Local transit systems, including LINX Transit, are currently operating under Level 2 of the Governor’s reopening plan and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) guidance.  Here is what you need to know when riding the bus:

• The drivers are currently not collecting bus passes or fare.  This is a temporary change during Phase II (rule subject to change).
• We are sanitizing high touch areas of the buses multiple times each day and using an electrostatic sprayer at the end of the day to fog and safely disinfect all surfaces of the bus.  
• Face masks/coverings are required for passengers and drivers.  Drivers have masks available for riders. 
• Use sanitizer or a sanitizing wipe before and after riding the bus.  Drivers have both available for riders.
• We are required to limit the number of riders on the bus at one time in order to maintain the social distancing requirements.  We have seats marked off accordingly.
• Stay home if you’re sick, coughing, have a runny nose or a fever. 
• Practice good hygiene;  wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.  Sneeze/cough into your elbow.   

Riding public transportation during COVID-19 is safer than most think when everyone is following the rules.

Please call us at 541-258-4920 to schedule a ride or for more information.
