Effective February 8, 2025, The Link will discontinue operating the Saturday deviated fixed route in The Dalles. To compensate for the service elimination, The Link will increase Dial-a-Ride service by adding an additional driver on Saturdays. The Dial-a-Ride service will continue to operate from 9am to 4pm. To book a ride, please call 541-296-7595.
This decision was primarily influenced by current and projected funding levels, along with ridership data collected over the past. We remain committed to providing Wasco County with reliable and efficient transportation services.
As operator of The Link Public Transit service in The Dalles, Oregon, Mid-Columbia Economic Development District (MCEDD) is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of its programs and services on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as protected by Title VI in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1.B.
