Route Deviations
Instead of going to a bus stop, riders can use the route deviation service. This is a curb-to-curb service, available for all students, faculty and staff regardless of ability. There is an additional fee of 50 cents for each deviation. A minimum of 30 minutes advance notice is required to schedule a deviation, but more notice is better. Walk-on route deviations (where the rider just asks the driver to make a deviation) are welcome. To make a reservation for a deviation, call (816) 233-6700.
