Starting June 18, Cascades East Transit will resume Saturday service for routes that connect Warm Springs, Madras, Redmond, Prineville and Bend.

CET will also relaunch its popular Ride the River and Lava Butte summer shuttles starting June 18 through Labor Day, weather permitting.

“We are excited to partner with CET and Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe again this summer to operate the Ride the River shuttle,” mentioned Julie Brown, Bend Park and Recreation District’s Communications and Community Relations Manager.

Ride the River shuttles cost riders $4 for an all-day wristband and the Lava Butte shuttle charges $3 per passenger for a round trip. Fares are collected through the UMO Pass Mobile App. Cash payments are also accepted; however, drivers cannot provide change.

Schedule information for Ride the River, Lava Butte, and Saturday Community Connector Routes 20, 22, 24, and 26 can be accessed at www.CascadesEastTransit.com.
