Route Changes Effective July 1

The results of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), which were unveiled in August 2017, included recommendations for a number of bus route changes. As a result, Greenlink held 16 community meetings throughout the months of October and November 2017, sharing information about the proposed route changes and giving the public an opportunity to provide input on the route designs. Feedback received at the community meetings was incorporated into the routes and the Greenville Transit Authority Board of Directors voted to adopt the new routes in December 2017.

The changes will go into effect on July 1, 2019. Below are links to maps of the new route designs. The routes are also viewable in the FindGreenlink app and on TrackGreenlink.com. For questions or comments, call 864-467-4544.
