Valley Transit Adds service to North Side of Appleton

August 2, 2005

Starting September 2005, Valley Transit will provide a fixed route bus connection from the regular Valley Transit bus routes to the north side of Appleton including North High and Fox Valley Lutheran High School. The new north side tripper route will operate two trips in the morning and two trips in the afternoon to assist students traveling to North High from Appleton south of Hwy 41 and from North Meade St. The route will serve Meade St., between Florida Ave. and Edgewood, Edgewood between Meade and Ballard, Ballard between Edgewood and Capital, and Capital between Ballard and Meade.  

Trips in the morning will originate from the new north transfer point located on First Ave. behind the Piggly Wiggly on Northland Ave./Hwy OO, and will travel north on Meade street, through the Fox Valley Lutheran parking lot to Edgewood to North High. In the afternoon, the route will travel in the opposite direction originating at North High, but still making transfers at the north transfer point. Passengers will be able to board along the route at published tripper signs and stop signs, as well as make transfers directly from Routes 5 – N. Oneida and 6 – Meade at the north transfer point bus shelter.
