Bus Training

We know that navigating a new system can be challenging in any situation, so we are here to help. If you or your organization needs assistance with a better understanding of how RMTD works, feel free to give us a call. We are more than willing to come on-site to discuss the ins and outs of our routes, fare programs, and other system-related questions.

For more information contact our Marketing and Communications Manager Orlando Toatley at 815-961-2226 or via email at otoatley@rmtd.org

If you have a disability but would like to ride our fixed route system, Rockford Mass Transit partners with RAMP to do bus training for persons with a disability.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP:

Arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes before scheduled departure time

Make sure the operator sees you as the bus approaches the stop.
Verify you are getting on the right bus.
Check the route number and name in the electronic display located above the front window of the bus.
If in doubt, please ask the driver. Drivers do not carry change so have exact fare or bus pass ready.

Did you know that you can also travel with your bike?

Take your ride farther with RMTD—bring your bike on the bus and turn every trip into an adventure! Skip traffic, save gas, and enjoy the freedom to pedal the fun parts while the bus handles the long haul. Whether you’re heading to work, exploring new trails, or cruising across town, combining biking with transit is the smart, active, and eco-friendly way to travel. Load up, roll out, and discover how easy it is to move more with your bike and RMTD!
