New
Bus Routes Begin Feb. 12.
To
ease traffic congestion, noise, and air quality, the Capital District
Transit Authority and Rensselaer have announced changes in bus
routes in the area near the university.
The
70, 90, and 86 bus routes will be changed, effective Monday, Feb.
12. Buses will no longer terminate at the Rensselaer Union, at
the corner of 15th Street and Sage Avenue. The 70 and 90 buses
will instead turn north from Sage Avenue onto 15th Street, then
proceed to the Houston Field House on Peoples Avenue.The buses
will then loop back though campus, via Burdett Avenue, Tibbits
Avenue, and 15th Street, before returning to downtown Troy and
points beyond via Peoples Avenue.
The Campus Shuttle, the 86, will continue to serve the Pawling
Avenue and Rensselaer East campus housing areas, via Tibbits Avenue
and Burdett Avenue. It will also traverse campus North and South
on 15th Street, between Sage Avenue and Tibbits Avenue.
Maps
of the new bus routes are posted at http://www.cdta.org/
and at http://www.rpi.edu/dept/parking.
