The DTA’s Better Bus Blueprint Recommended Draft Network expands quality transit to more equity populations to reduce trip times and provide better access to opportunities.

@DYounglings The role of the DTA and other organizations is to educate and remind community members of the ordinance. It is not the role of the DTA to escalate/confront or otherwise enforce. Please refer to the ordinance.
Due to an extra supply of masks, the Duluth Transit Authority is set to provide over 1000 to customers and the public. Beginning Thursday, June 18th, a mask will be available free of charge at our Downtown Duluth Transit Center (DTC) information booth during staffed hours!
Thanks to the DTA’s youngest communications coworker for helping us emphasize social distancing on buses and how only taking essential trips can save lives! #Transit#COVID19#Duluth#coronavirus
