Tamarac Transportation

A modified route system has been created with a minimum fee increase. The modified route system will include one (1) bus that will serve the eastern and a portion of central Tamarac on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (RED route) and the western and remaining portion of central Tamarac on Tuesdays and Thursdays (YELLOW route). To assist in the funding of the modified route the fee to ride will increase from $.25 to $.50 per one way trip.

This new route has been approved by the City Commission upon their adoption of the Fiscal Year 2008 City Budget.
