The DASH West and DASH North routes have been consolidated into a single route that covers a larger area of Grand Rapids.
A news release says the new DASH service goes into effect on Wednesday, May 10th.
The new DASH circulator operates every 15 minutes Wednesday.
The City has budgeted for 7-day-a-week service and plan to bring it back as soon as capacity issues have improved.
There are some new DASH destinations that include a Bridge Street stop that connects much of downtown to a grocery store, a Grand Rapids Public Library stop, and Leonard Street stops that connects a new business and resident district to the downtown area. The new DASH loop will run in both directions – clockwise and counterclockwise.
Josh Naramore, Mobile GR director, says, “The DASH is now focused primarily on serving residents and visitors of Grand Rapids,”, said. “We are especially excited to bring back late night and weekend service. “
A transitional service, WORK, will also operate to serve commuters Monday through Friday. This commuter service will take riders from the west side DASH parking lots into the heart of downtown Grand Rapids.
