Route 46 Expands into New Territory!
HART Restores and Enhances Service on Route 46 Starting March 17
HART is implementing new and improved service along Route 46, beginning March 17 to enhance existing service and avoid unnecessary or redundant routes.

"We are very glad to have our mid-day bus service restored," said Jennifer Willman, President of the Palmetto Beach Community Association. "Indeed, it is critical for some residents to get around, and we very much appreciate the service."   


These new modifications are just one more step in the agency's ongoing commitment to optimize its budget and resources in a maximum way while improving its services with the tools and transportation options that riders want.
