Updated Grundy Trolley Schedule

Somehow, with all the construction around town, we forgot to update the new Grundy trolley schedule, which is available at http://www.asl.edu/library/trolley.php. Remember, there are several routes and many of them stop at the same locations for drop-offs and pick-ups.
* ASL-only bus: This bus goes directly to ASL from the downtown parking area. It usually stops at the parking area every fifteen minutes, beginning at 7:15 am Monday through Friday. Service ends at 5:15 pm Monday through Thursday, and at 6:30 pm on Friday.
* Courthouse-only bus: This bus goes directly to the Courthouse and Post Office from the downtown parking area. It usually stops at the parking area every fifteen minutes, beginning at 7:15 am Monday through Friday. Service ends at 5:15 pm Monday through Thursday, and at 6:30 pm on Friday.
* Regular trolley: This bus makes a long loop around town. It picks up at the Theater, the Grundy Church of Christ parking lot, and the downtown parking lot. Then it circles around construction to drop off at the Courthouse and Post Office, then the law school.

Finally, there is a county-wide transit bus that can take you to Richlands and beyond. Please remember that boarding this bus does require paying a fare. All other local bus service is free.
