Community Transit

Community Transit started its “Purple” route daily service in Tracy in May 2019 and off ers three roundtrips each weekday between Tracy, Balaton and Marshall. Departure times in Tracy are 7 a.m., 10 a.m., and 3:30 p.m., with the bus returning about 9:15 a.m., 11:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. The fi rst departure from Balaton each day is 7:25 a.m. Fares for a one-way trip on the route are $3, or $6 roundtrip on a 60-mile loop. A Community Transit bus has been located in Tracy since 2014, with rides off ered on an advance appointment basis. Minnesota Dept. of Transportation funding provided 85% of Community Transit’s expansion of services to and from Tracy, with local matches, and fares providing the balance. The United Community Action Partnership, which has an offi ce in Marshall, operates Community Transit services in an eight-county area with a fl eet of 30 buses. “Blue” and “Red” Community Transit routes are off ered throughout Marshall. “Dial a ride” services allow people to arrange transportation pick-ups either by bus or through volunteers driving their own vehicle. That service is still available for Tracy residents.
