Dial-a-Ride Service Changes Coming in 2027 Beginning in January 2027, the Dial-a-Ride service area will be expanded to include additional neighborhoods. Current Dial-a-Ride Boundaries (in 2026) New Dial-a-Ride Boundaries (in 2027) The purple map shows the current service area. The green map shows the expanded service area. The expansion adds coverage beyond the current boundary, particularly in areas north, east, south, and southwest of Walla Walla and College Place. With this expansion, more homes, workplaces, schools, shopping areas, medical services, recreation destinations, and community locations will be within the Valley Transit service area. The expanded area includes additional neighborhoods near the Veterans Memorial Golf Course, Walla Walla Community College, Bennington Lake, and the south and southwest edges of the community. Please refer to the maps to see whether your location is within the current or expanded service area. View an interactive map here, or call 509-525-9140 with questions. Map of Only the New Areas Special Services If you need a bus ride from the airport, call Valley Transit between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday, or 10:45 am and 6:00 pm on Saturday. Call us at 509-527-3779, and we’ll send the next Route 1 or East Loop bus to pick you up. This works well with the flights that arrive and depart in the middle of the day. If your flight falls before or after those hours listed above, the bus won’t be available, so you’ll need to take a taxi or use a ride-share service instead. Special Event (typically community events with auxiliary public transit services) None at this time. Current Short-Term Rider Alerts None at this time.
