Transit Link in Washington County
Minibus/van service from any county to a destination within Washington County, if not covered by a regular bus route. Call for information and availability.

Transit Link rides must be reserved in advance by calling 651-602-LINK.
Standard service hours are weekdays from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fares are based on distance traveled.
To assure Transit Link service does not duplicate regular route service, each trip will be evaluated for eligibility.

Transit Link is a shared-ride service, which must be reserved before the trip - the same day or up to five business days in advance. Standing order trips, meaning trips scheduled at the same time several days in a row or every Monday, for example, will be accepted.
