Additional Bus Stop Information
As a follow up to the Logan Collins accident in November 2009, Atomic City Transit riders were informed in a variety of venues on Friday (Jan 8) that the County had decided to discontinue use of the bus flagging system and move instead to use of a bus stop system on Monday (Jan 11th). We understand that many of our riders enjoyed the "flagging" system for ACT and its convenience and accessibility - and that was our goal when we created it two years ago.
Routes and timing for Atomic City Transit will not change significantly. Over 200 bus stop signs were placed in the communities of Los Alamos and White Rock on Saturday afternoon. They are temporary signs that read "No Parking - Bus Stop" and are mounted on orange traffic control devices.
We pride ourselves in running a top-notch public transportation system and apologize for the disruptions riders encountered on Friday, January 8th. We hope residents and visitors will continue to use Atomic City Transit as their primary means of transportation. It is our goal to provide riders with on-time, safe, courteious, and professional bus service in Los Alamos and White Rock. If you have questions or concerns about the changes and use of bus stops, please contact us at 661-RIDE. We welcome your feedback as we move forward with this new system.
We also encourage you to sign up for updates to Atomic City Transit services via our e-mail subscriber newsletter. If changes to bus service are made, we can alert you quickly through this mechanism.
We encourage our riders to download the file titled “Statement from County Administrator Mortillaro concerning Atomic City Transit 1/12/10” which was read into the public record during the opening “Public Comment” section of the Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Council meeting held in White Rock. He addresses the recent situation and suspension of service with Atomic City Transit, and gives the Council and community an update on options we are considering for operating the bus system in the coming months.
