Ride to Groceries

Ride to Groceries was created in response concerns about limited access to healthy foods and full service grocery stores. There are two types of Ride to Groceries service

Bus Route

In order to address work related transportation, and access to the Court Street Walmart, a new East Court Route service will operate between the MTA Northrup-Abrams Transportation Center and Walmart.

This route will run the same hours (9:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.) and days as the previous shopper service, and regular fares will be charged. If you have been using the “Rides to Groceries” bus to go downtown, the new bus route will still connect to the MTA Northrup-Abrams Transportation Center. End of the line will be at Walmart on Court Street.

For those passengers who may still need transportation to grocery shopping, the Rides to Groceries service is available through local Your Ride Service Centers.
