Creating Point to Point Schedules
The entry page

A sample entry page is shown below.

Graphic of entry page, see explanation below for fields

Entering locations:

  • In the text box under "Where does your trip start?" enter your starting location. Use the More Tips link for some easy guidelines that make this process easier.
  • Under "Where does your trip end?" enter your ending location.

Set the time, date, and type of service:

  • For the Start time, set the earliest time you would like to leave your starting location. To read more about how to enter locations, click the More Tips link.
  • For the End time, set the latest time you would like to leave your starting location. These settings define the range of times you'll receive in your Point to Point Schedule.
  • Note: your Start time should be earlier than your End time. For most routes, the service day ends no later than 5 AM the following day. For a complete schedule for a time span starting before 5 AM and ending after 5 AM you may need to create two different point-to-point schedules.
  • Set the date. If you are planning ahead, for instance for travel after a Service Change, set the date accordingly. Usually you can accept the date that is entered by default.
  • Set the service type. Pick from weekday, Saturday, or Sunday/Holiday service. Create separate Point to Point Schedules for each different service type, if you need to. Note - some locations have no service on Saturdays or Sundays. On some holidays, routes do not operate a Sunday schedule.

Set other options:

  • Change the walking distance. If there is a lot of service in the area, this will allow more or fewer routes to be offered.
  • Check the Accessible Trip - yes box if you want Point to Point Schedules using accessible stops and vehicles only.

Proceed:

  • Click NEXT to proceed.

Clarify Location

You may need to clarify one or both of your locations for Point to Point Schedules. Look in the list of options. If you find one that matches, select it. Then scroll down and click the Resubmit button. If your location is not listed, follow the instructions on the page to either change what you entered or find out how to enter a location. See the Tips for more information on how to clarify locations.
