Harrisonburg Transit is the municipally-owned public transportation system for the City of Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia. The system is operated by the Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation (HDPT). Funding for the bus service is provided by the Virginia Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Transportation, James Madison University, and the City of Harrisonburg.[1]

Services

Much of the scheduled bus service is focused around JMU at the Godwin Transit Center with other main transfer points for city routes being on East Market Street at the Cloverleaf Shopping Center and the transfer hub at East Gay Street.[2] HDPT also provides regular daily school transportation, using a fleet of approximately 40 school buses, as well as for field trips and sporting events.[3] Paratransit service is offered for persons who have disabilities as prescribed under the Americans with Disabilities Act.[4]

Harrisonburg Transit's buses are mostly Gillig Low Floor buses plus a few Thomas buses and one Gillig Phantom bus. The Thomas buses are typically used as extra buses during periods of high use when JMU is in session.
