LEWISVILLE (WBAP/KLIF)-Effective Monday, May 11, The Denton County Transportation Authority will implement service updates that will affect Denton Connect Bus, UNT Campus Shuttles, Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand and Access in response to the COVID-19.
Below are key May 2020 service changes DCTA riders should keep in mind to plan their essential travel in advance:
- The DCTA Denton Connect Routes 5 and 8 will be temporarily suspended to reduce route duplications during COVID-19.
- The University of North Texas (UNT) campus shuttles will transition to a summer schedule. Students can visit UNT’s Transportation website and RideDCTA.net for more information.
- The A-Train Station On-Demand Service Connection will only offer on-demand bus service connections from the Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) and Hebron station in Lewisville
- Service hours for Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand have been updated to Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 9:40 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
In addition to service hour changes, DCTA is rebranding its microtransit mobile app. Effective Monday, May 11, riders will need to download the new DCTA On-Demand app that will replace the current Spare Rider app. However, the process to book a trip will remain the same.
