Very disappointing not to see Red Hills (which services a great deal of
the state office parks) included in this extended hours.

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->StarMetro Extends Weekday Service
More Opportunities to Travel Later in the Evening - Starting
today, many customers using StarMetro can look forward to more service in the
evenings. Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) awarded the
transit agency with a service development grant to extend a majority of its
weekday service until 8 p.m. Currently, StarMetro operates a weekday service
that is comprised of 12 routes that run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and a nighttime
service that consists of six routes that run from 7 to 10 p.m.
"Adding an extra hour of service on the majority of our weekday
routes is part of an ongoing commitment to make StarMetro a convenient and
effective way to move about Tallahassee," said Ivan Maldonado, director of
StarMetro. "Our customers have asked for extended service, and we are pleased
to be able to address that demand."
StarMetro will take a phased-in approach to extending nine of its
12 weekday routes. Today, the Dogwood and San Luis routes will begin running
their newly extended schedules with the Forest route running its new schedule
on June 3. The Azalea, Big Bend, Canopy, Evergreen, Gulf and Moss routes will
begin running their new schedules on August 24, just in time for the new school
year. These nine weekday routes were chosen and prioritized due to their
anticipated ridership demands.
'I am proud of StarMetro for their continued efforts to find ways
to improve our transit system,' said City Commissioner Nancy Miller, lead
commissioner on the City's Long Range Planning target issue committee. 'The
extension of the weekday service will prove to be a huge benefit to our
students and those who work later in the evening as they can now be assured
that StarMetro will be there to take them home after their evening classes or
shifts.'
