Detour on 3A Lafayette Square begins Sept. 15

The intersection of State St. and 22nd St. at Earl Ave. will close due to construction beginning Tuesday, September 15, for approximately three months.

3A Lafayette Square buses will not be able to serve State St., 26th, 22nd, or Teal Rd. (between 26th and 18th streets). Both inbound and outbound 3A buses will remain on 18th St. for the duration of the construction project, serving 18th St. between Main St. and Shoshone.
  • All passengers usually boarding along State, 26th, 22nd, or Teal Rd. east of 18th St. will need to walk to 18th St. to board the 3A buses.

  • Jeff H.S. and Tecumseh students who currently board the inbound 3A along 22nd St. will need to board at the bus stop at Hiatt and 18th St.

CityBus regrets any inconvenience this causes for our riders.

Choose CityBus During Purdue Green Week/Alternative Transportation Challenge

CityBus is encouraging the community to "go green" by trying CityBus during Purdue Green Week's Alternative Transportation Challenge. The event is hosted by Purdue's Boiler Green Initiative.

The public, especially Purdue students and staff, are encouraged to choose alternatives to driving the week of September 15 to 19th. Walking, bicycling, carpooling, and riding CityBus are being promoted as green alternatives to driving.

Participants may register online to be eligible for prizes, and so event organizers can track savings in miles traveled and carbon emissions. Register here: http://www.purdue.edu/dp/environment/ATC/
