“Since Beech Street access will be blocked for the parade from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., the LINK buses will not be able to return to the Transfer Station until the parade is over and streets are reopened,” Scott Dresher, Transit Manager stated. Dresher went on to explain the buses will unload their passengers at the corner of 5th and Beech Street at 8:30, the closest point to the Transfer Station they will be able to safely reach.

The Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow routes will pause service until normal LINK bus service resumes at 12:30 p.m. The LINK buses for Evansville (Orange) and Mills (Purple) expect no impacts during the parade but will have no transfers to other routes until after 12:30 p.m.

The door-to-door ASSIST services will not be able to service any location on a street closed for the parade including Skyline Towers at 300 E. Collins, the Wyoming Bank Building Apartments at 204 E. Second and the Sunshine Apartments at 400/403 S.
