Roanoke’s bus system next month is launching on-demand service for riders on Sundays and in the evening hours the other days of the week.
The two-year pilot program from Valley Metro fulfills a promise from city leaders who earmarked $3 million in federal pandemic relief funds to improve public transit.
Service on Sunday is expected to run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday through Saturday extend from 8:45 p.m. to 12:45 a.m., according to a copy of a contract with the nonprofit RADAR, which will run the pilot.
Residents who want to use the service will have to call 24 hours in advance to schedule a ride, similar to how RADAR’s trips for people with disabilities work.
