CATA Introduces Route in Delhi Township

Lansing, MI—A new CATA bus route in Delhi Township will provide service to businesses and residents along Holt, Washington, Willoughby, Keller, Depot and Delhi NE Roads. The fixed-route service (buses traveling an established route with scheduled boarding times at bus stops along the route) will kick off on Monday, January 10, 2005. "This service (Route 19 Delhi Loop) will be a real asset to the Township. I am certain that the businesses and schools along the new route will be thrilled with this new transportation option!" said Delhi Township Supervisor, Stuart Goodrich.

CATA's Route 19 Delhi Loop will serve such destinations as Tamarack Apartments, Holt Plaza, Holt 9th Grade Campus and High School, Great Lakes Homes Housing Co-op, Lutheran Heritage Village and Cedar Park Shopping Center. Service will operate Monday through Friday during peak travel hours - 6:30AM until 8:35AM and again from 3:05PM until 4:50PM. The Delhi Loop bus will circulate the route every 30 minutes during these hours. 

"Both CATA and Delhi Township officials recognized a need for additional fixed-route service in the township," explains CATA’s Executive Director, Sandy Draggoo. "CATA responded with the Delhi Loop." 

The township is currently served by three established CATA services. Route 7 Aurelius travels the northeast portion of Delhi Township and Route 8 Pennsylvania - Holt serves South Cedar and the Holt, Eifert and Aurelius Roads corridor. Both routes travel to the CATA Transportation Center in downtown Lansing where connections to 17 routes can be made. Service changes on Route 7 (effective January 10th) will have buses traveling south of Jolly Road along Dunckel, Legacy Parkway, Belle Chase and Pine Tree Road. Delhi Redi-Ride provides residents with curb-to-curb service within the township’s service area when reservations are made in advance. Call 394-4178 to reserve a ride.  Schedules for each of these routes, including the new Route 19 Delhi Loop, are available in schedule racks throughout the township and in the Route Info section of CATA’s website.
