Connections to local transit

POINT coordinates with local and intercity transit services as much as possible by sharing bus stops and timing our schedules to allow easy transfers between services.

Travel with a wheelchair or mobility device

All POINT buses are fully ADA accessible and lift-equipped to accommodate all occupied wheelchairs or mobility devices weighing up to 600 pounds. Some buses can accommodate heavier devices. For more information, please contact us.

What happens if my bus is cancelled?

POINT operates 7 days a week including holidays. Inclement weather, road closures, and other incidents may result in cancelled or delayed buses. We make every attempt to post these on our Facebook page during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00am – 5:30pm). We do not post service alerts on the POINT website. If your bus is cancelled, your ticket seller (usually Amtrak or Greyhound) will contact you. They may offer to move you to a different bus or train so you can complete your trip, or you may receive a refund or credit for future travel. If you need to speak with one of our operators you may contact us.
