Route 9 – Peak Traffic Routing Adjustment (Weekdays during school year)

To avoid heavy traffic near Walker Upper Elementary School, Route 9 uses an alternate routing during weekday peak traffic hours:

8:00–9:00 a.m.
2:30–3:30 p.m.

During these times, buses travel via the U.S. 250 Bypass between the YMCA and Downtown before returning to the regular route. This adjustment helps maintain reliable service and has been in place for several school years.
