Announcements
All riders are required to provide 24-hour advance notice to schedule a ride. This ensures there is proper seating available and assists with on time performance. The district will begin to enforce this scheduling practice on May 1, 2024. After May 1, 2024 Same Day Service will no longer be available. Please contact Dispatch at 618.549.0304 to schedule a ride with at least 24 hours advance notice.
On April 8th, 2024 the day of the Eclipse, Jackson County Mass Transit will not be running our regular routes. This is for the safety of our clients and staff, due to the anticipated increase in traffic throughout Carbondale. Also, JCMTD will not be scheduling or providing any same-day transportation. If you need a ride on this day, it will need to be scheduled 24 hours in advance.
As part of JCMTD’s continued effort to improve services, we would like to hear from you. Please take just a few minutes and complete the JCMTD Survey. The responses from the survey will be utilized to help JCMTD improve our services.
