August 8, 2019


The Treasure Coast Connector and St. Lucie County Transit staff are helping parents and students save time and money this 2019/2020 school year with student-focused routes.

Parents are encouraged to skip crowded drop-off/pick-up lines and avoid inconvenient trips to school by having their student take advantage of the Treasure Coast Connector, which is Free. At the same time, local high school students can enjoy the freedom of more ride choices and destinations while browsing/streaming more on routes throughout the county. And, college students can save money on gas and take advantage of extra study time by taking a fixed bus route to and from Indian River State College and Keiser University.

Route 1- 6 operates weekdays from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m., and Saturday service from 8 a.m. – noon and 1 – 4 p.m. Route 7 operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the exceptions of holidays. All buses in St. Lucie County fast and frequent.
