The V.I.P. monthly fixed route pass may be used on any Jefferson Transit route for an unlimited number of rides. Jefferson Transit and the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), serving New Orleans, meet regularly to coordinate both fixed route and paratransit services. Jefferson Transit and RTA are currently designing a $4.00 day pass that may be used on either system starting in 1999.
Jefferson Transit runs five routes on the Eastbank and eleven on the Westbank. The Eastbank and Westbank systems connect on Jefferson Highway at Clearview Parkway and also in the New Orleans CBD at Loyola and Tulane. Eastbank routes connect with RTA routes in Kenner, as well as in New Orleans at City Park Avenue and Canal Boulevard, along Tulane Avenue, and at Claiborne Avenue and Carrollton Avenue. Westbank routes connect with RTA routes only in the New Orleans CBD; however, future plans call for connecting routes also in Algiers.
The Gretna Terminal and the Walkertown Terminal (Marrero) serve as two hubs for the Westbank routes. Both terminals offer park and ride facilities, as does the Oakdale Park & Ride. Jefferson Transit is currently looking for a suitable site to create an Eastbank park and ride. All facilities comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and are fully accessible. In addition, 42 of the 56 fixed route buses are fully accessible. Accessible buses operate on all routes.
MITS (Mobility Impaired Transit System) is operated by Jefferson Transit for those persons unable to use fixed route transit. MITS offers curb to curb service for those individuals who have been certified to ride the system. The MITS service fully complies with all requirements of the ADA. MITS provides three designated transfer locations for certified riders who need to transfer to RTA’s Lift/Dial-a-Ride paratransit services. Trips must be scheduled the day before service is desired. | Characteristics of System | | Vehicles: | 54 Vehicles | | Clients Served: | General Public | | Operating Hours: | 5:00 a.m. - 12:30 a.m. 7 days; hours vary by route
