A few improvements are coming with the latest round of annual route changes from Lawrence Transit. These include better connections between routes, improved access to grocery shopping, and more nighttime service for KU students.

A preview of the upcoming Transit Guide is available at lawrencetransit.org/routes, as well as the Route Changes Report, which includes feedback received from the public and from bus drivers.

Printed copies of the Transit Guide will be available in late July. They will be distributed at grocery stores, City Hall, Lawrence Public Library, several locations across the KU campus and on all buses.

Transit app is the primary tool recommended for trip planning and real-time bus arrival information. Find links to download the app on Lawrence Transit’s mobile tools page.
