Stagecoach COVID-19 Service Update – April 1, 2020

Effective Monday, April 6th Stagecoach, a division of Tri-Valley Transit (TVT), is implementing changes to its service delivery model in an effort to maintain the highest levels of safety for all of our drivers and passengers during this time.  We thank you for your understanding and appreciate your cooperation while we continue to provide the most essential services.

Bus routes will be scaled back to include our most essential routes

  • 89er South #1 AM and #3 PM will run each morning and each afternoon
  • River Route #1 AM and #2 PM will run each morning and each afternoon
  • Circulator and Local Bus Services will operate on a Dial-A-Ride basis for access to essential goods and services throughout the Orange / Northern Windsor County Region – call one business day in advance to schedule your ride.
  • We continue to ask all passengers to refrain from using the bus if you are able to self-transport in order to maximize social distancing and minimize the risk of transmission.

All riders must call to request a ride

  • All passengers will be required to call to request a pick-up the day before their planned trip
  • Capacity of buses will be kept low to allow for social distancing onboard. Please leave an empty row of seats between you and the nearest passenger/driver.
  • Passengers will be screened by ride coordinators for potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus, whether you are exhibiting symptoms of illness, and to confirm your travel meets the definition of “essential”. Your trip may be denied based on this screening.

Delivery services are available

  • TVT/Stagecoach can provide free delivery of pre-paid essential goods (food, medications, hardware, etc.) to Orange/Northern Windsor County residents who are elderly, disabled, or unable to self-transport. Call TVT/Stagecoach one business day in advance to schedule your service.

Thank You!

  • We thank you for your support as we balance the essential need for transportation services with the critical requirement to observe “Stay Home / Stay Safe” orders.
  • Any questions or input you may have about this change can be directed to Jade McClallen, Regional Director, at jmcclallen@trivalleytransit.org or Mike Reiderer, Community Relations Manager, at mreiderer@trivalleytransit.org or 802-728-3773.

 Tri-Valley Transit Coronavirus Update

Due to the rapidly changing COVID-19 pandemic, Tri-Valley Transit, (dba ACTR and Stagecoach), would like to offer the following updates to our passengers.

To increase social distancing measures, we are:

  • Asking all passengers who can self-transport to do so and not ride the bus
  • Asking all passengers who are able to stay home to do so and not ride the bus.
  • Asking only nurses, doctors, child care workers, first responders, transit workers, and anyone with no other transportation options to be the only riders.
  • Asking all riders to limit shopping bags on the bus to what they can carry themselves – driver assistance will not be available to reduce social interactions

This is in addition to the other COVID-19 efforts currently in place at TVT, including:

  • Following all CDC protocols to ensure buses are sanitized
  • Operating fare free to reduce social interactions
  • Directing passengers and drivers to practice safe hygiene

  • Deviations & Request Only Stops (R)

    Some Stagecoach stops along a route are listed as “R” or Request Only – either all of the time or during some parts of the day. Request Only stops follow the pick-up or drop-off procedures below, stopping at the nearest safe location.

    Stagecoach buses on the 2nd Friday Shopper, Randolph Shopper, Saturday Shopper, and Circulator routes also deviate up to 3/4 mile to pick up or drop off passengers.

    If the request for Deviation or Request Only pick-ups or drop-offs cannot be accommodated at the desired schedule time, per Federal Law, Stagecoach will provide the service up to 1 hour before or after the requested time.

    There are no deviations on the 89er, 89er North, and River Route commuter routes.

    To request a DROP OFF

    Upon boarding, please let your driver know you would like a Deviation or a Request Only drop off. The driver will let you know if this can be accommodated right away or on the next loop. All attempts to accommodate requests will be made.

    To request a PICK UP

    All Pick Ups – whether a Deviation or Request Only Bus Stop – must be requested by calling the Stagecoach one business day (24 hours) in advance, or on Fridays for a Monday pick up.

    Dispatch staff will take the information, review the bus schedule and determine a Pick Up time. Per Federal Law, the ride will be accommodated either up to one hour before or one hour after the requested time. Stagecoach dispatch staff is available by phone between 8 am and 5 pm Monday – Friday.
