Cascade Rides Transit Authority

Bend doesn't run in straight lines. Neither do we.

Routes follow the river, bend around the buttes and meet the parkway. Maps, fares, service alerts and paratransit booking — all in one place.

Route maps

The shortest way through town is rarely a straight line.

Every map we publish is drawn to the shape of the place — a river that splits the town, buttes that push the roads around them, a parkway that cuts through both.

Real-time service alerts

When a route changes, you see it bend.

Straight lines hide trouble. Our alerts sit at the bend nearest the change, so before you read a word you already know which part of town it touches.
