Due to driver shortages, Grand Valley Transit will implement the following temporary service reductions effective the week of November 1, 2021, which will remain in effect until further notice.
- Reducing the Dash service frequency to come only once every hour instead of once every half hour. Dash service hours will remain from 4:15 pm to 11:05 pm, Thursday – Saturday. Buses in Dash service will depart the Downtown Transfer Facility at :15 past the hour, departing on final round at 10:15 pm.
- Reducing Saturday service hours, beginning three hours later and ending two hours earlier than regular weekday service hours. The reduction to Saturday service hours will be implemented on November 6, 2021. Route specific Saturday service hours are as follows:
- Routes 4, 8, 10: Saturday service will begin at 7:45 am. Service will end at 6:35 pm with final bus departing on final round at 5:45 pm.
- Routes 1,3,5,6,7,9,11: Saturday service will begin at 8:15 am. Service will end at 6:05 pm with final bus departing on final round at 5:15 pm.
- Route 2: Saturday service will begin at 8:45 am. Service will end at 6:35 pm with final bus departing on final round at 5:45 pm.

GVT has reviewed multiple options for reducing service. After careful consideration of current ridership and travel patterns, GVT believes that reduction of Dash service frequencies and Saturday service hours will be the least disruptive to current riders. GVT anticipates that these service reductions will remain in place for the remainder of 2021 and may continue into 2022, but intends to return to regular service as soon as possible.
