Due to an accident blocking both lanes on Hwy 14 at MP 69 the 1:30pm bus to The Dalles will not be stopping in Wishram or Dallesport.

You can track the MT. ADAMS bus on www.gorgetranslink.com  Click on Schedules and Routes Tab, then click on which route you want to see under then click on the blue TRACK MY BUS tab.  It will give you real time on where the bus is.  Side note:  if the main bus is having maintenance done and we are using a substitute bus it will not show up.  Hope this is helpful.

The City of The Dalles is preparing for the upcoming Cherry Festival. Due to Federal Rd. closure, we are temporarily moving the Veterans Service Stop to the corner of State Farm Insurance parking lot on E 2nd and Laughlin for this week, April 15-19th. You can also catch the bus at 2nd/Taylor. Call dispatch at (541) 296-7595 with any questions.

Intermittent single-lane closures of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge will begin on Monday, April 8th, and continue through Friday, April 12th, between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The closures will then resume on Monday, April 15th, through Friday, April 19th, during the same hours. Crews will be conducting welding repairs on the bridge deck this spring to address increased deck fractures due to heavy truck loads.

Flaggers will direct traffic on the bridge. Drivers should expect delays of approximately 15 minutes during these hours. Due to the narrow lanes on the bridge, drivers are strongly advised to proceed slowly and cautiously to ensure the safety of workers. Additionally, they should refrain from directly looking at the welding arc light when passing through the work zone.

To better serve you, the new route timetables have changed to have better connection times with The Dalles, Hood River, Stevenson and Portland bus schedules.  We are continually improving to provide the best possible service around The Gorge.

The Dog Mountain Shuttle provides shuttle service between the Skamania County Fairground gravel parking lot and the Dog Mountain Trailhead during the popular spring months of April-June when the wildflowers are blooming and USFS parking permits are required to park at the trailhead.
