DEVIATION

Schedule Deviation

Molalla Bus service operates as a deviated fixed route open to the general public. With advance notice, the bus will deviate up to three-quarters of a mile from the designated route as shown on the printed schedule for any passenger with physical and medical needs. 


Customers can call the District Office at 503-829-7000, Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to their planned trip (24-hour advance notice required) to request a deviation.


The rider will be assigned a pick-up time. Riders will be required to travel to the curb outside of their trip origin in time for their scheduled pick-up. Vehicles operating on route deviation service will be unable to wait for a passenger who is not at the designated stop on time.


Passenger Assistance: Route deviation services will be provided on a curb-to-curb basis. SCTD drivers will assist riders with disabilities in boarding and disembarking from vehicles and in securing their mobility devices. All drivers who operate SCTD services are proficiently trained in passenger assistance and sensitivity towards persons with disabilities.


FLAG STOP

The Molalla City Bus operates as a "flag stop" route, where a rider can signal the bus to stop at any safe location along the route, whether or not a bus stop sign is posted.  


To “flag” a bus, stand at a safe location along the road where the driver can see you. Wave to the approaching bus so the driver knows you wish to board. If it is safe to do so, the driver will stop to let you on. To get off the bus at a flag stop, advise the driver in advance so he or she can determine a safe location to stop.  When riding the CCC route or Canby route, be sure to board at a designated stop.
