STARS will be closed on Thursday, November 26th to celebrate Thanksgiving. Service will resume at 6AM Friday. Pigeon Express will take their last run for 2nd shift on Wednesday, November 25th and will resume service on Sunday, November 29th as scheduled.

Effective Monday, November 16, STARS will make the following service changes:

  • City Bus Routes are Suspended Until Further Notice
  • Dial-a-Ride “LIFT” Services will be open to the General Public for Essential Trips Only
