Bay Area Rural Transit (BART) Bus System
Serving the Chequamegon Bay Area for over 30 years
Riding the BART in Chequamegon Bay communities is convenient and safe. More than 80% of all residents live within walking distance of our routes. Riding the bus is a good travel choice because it helps our environment by reducing fuel emissions, traffic congestion, and parking issues. The route buses offer service around the Bay every 2 hours, the city bus offers service around Ashland every hour and the community buses in Washburn and Red Cliff offer service as soon as possible. There is also a bus traveling from Ashland to Mellen on Mondays and Thursdays each week.
Our buses provide a safe, clean, and reliable alternative means of transportation.
We also work directly with the following transportation services in the area: Ashland County Aging Unit, Bad River Transit, Miskwaabekong Red Cliff Transit, and the Lauri Jean Zach Center (LJZC provides rides in the Glidden/Park Falls/Mellen area).
