The East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission (EARPDC) is proposing Fixed bus stops for the Areawide Community Transportation System (ACTS) Fixed-Route transit program. The current routes can be viewed here:
North/East /
West/South
To date, buses stop to pick up or drop off passengers on an "on-demand" basis. Due to the increased passenger load, the increasing number of destinations, and most recent route re-configuration, each route has begun to take longer than the 53-55 minutes allotted to complete it's route.
EARPDC, in an effort to continue to provide a safe, efficient, friendly, and affordable transit service, is proposing to have fixed stops where passengers would get on and off. The proposed stops can be viewed in a listing
HERE. A picture of each proposed stop can also be viewed by route:
North South East West
A map of the routes with a marker indicating each proposed stop can be viewed:

EARPDC is seeking comments on the proposed stops. Every effort has been made to ensure each stop is safe, warrented, legal, and practical. It is in the best interest of the public to have a voice in all changes in their community, whether they are a direct consumer or not. Comments can be made via email to
