Somerset County Transportation resumed its regular schedule for most transit shuttle services starting Monday, July 13.
“We want to thank our riders for their patience throughout the pandemic and are looking forward to resuming Transportation’s regular schedules on Monday,” said Freeholder Melonie Marano, transportation liaison. “The safety of our residents and staff remains a top priority, so we will continue to monitor and adjust services as deemed appropriate.”
The one exception is the CAT1A shuttle, which will continue running on a modified/holiday schedule. Also, CAT shuttles are not providing service to Raritan Valley Community College, until further notice. The last stop on the CAT line is the ShopRite, located on route 28 in Branchburg.
