Bus service to run between Bonners Ferry,
Sandpoint |
|
March 30, 2017 |
On April 1, Selkirk's Pend Oreille Transit
Authority is set to begin a pilot program to
test the need and sustainability of scheduled
transit service between downtown Sandpoint and
downtown Bonners Ferry.
There will also be a scheduled stop in Ponderay
and additional stops are available in Samuels
and Naples by prearrangement.
The gold route leaves from the downtown
Sandpoint bus stop each Saturday at 9:45 a.m. and again every
two hours until the final departure at 5:45 p.m.
The Bonners Ferry stop is outside the Kootenai
River Inn at the end of the pedestrian tunnel
under Highway 95 connecting to downtown Bonners
Ferry.
The return leg leaves from outside the Kootenai
River Inn starting at 10:45 a.m. Saturday and again every
two hours until the final run at 6:45 p.m.
The pilot service is a joint project funded by
SPOT and its newest partner, the Kootenai River
Inn Casino and Spa. Also participating is the
City of Bonners Ferry and Boundary County. The
pilot service will run each Saturday for the months of April,
May and June.
An evaluation will be made near the end of the
test period to determine the future of the
service.
For information or to prearrange stops in the
Naples and Samuels areas, call 208-263-3774. |
