DECEMBER 3, 2023 SERVICE CHANGE
Madison County Transit (MCT) will be implementing its Winter Service Change on Sunday, December 3, 2023. As a result of the ongoing driver shortage, MCT is forced to reduce service on select routes to avoid daily service interruptions. There will be reductions on three routes (listed below) and the discontinuation of two underutilized express routes. Due to the pressing nature of the driver shortage, the MCT Board approved an accelerated implementation of the service adjustments on December 3, instead of the typical January service change.
Please read below for a summary of the changes. Draft PDFs of the schedules can be found on the Schedules page.
