September 11, 2020 Bend, ORE — Cascades East Transit (CET) Bend Fixed-Route services will end at 2 pm on Friday (9/11) and transition to a reservation-based Bend Dial-A-Ride service due to hazardous air quality and low ridership. Regional Community Connector and Dial-A-Ride services will continue to operate as scheduled. Riders can call 541-385-8680 to schedule rides (upon availability) within Bend on Friday, 9/11, as the Bend Dial-A-Ride service will be available to the general public. Riders are encouraged to check CET's website at www.CascadesEastTransit.com or visit CET’s social media pages for service updates, as smoky conditions will likely persist through early next week. All CET weekend services are currently suspended until further notice.

Our hearts go out to all those who continue to be affected by the devastating wildfires and we are hopeful that changing weather patterns will help firefighters gain control of the fires to prevent further damage and improve air quality.
