**Ozaukee County Shared Ride Service Hours Update**

The proposed service hours were approved on August 20, 2026, and will take effect **January 1, 2027**.

Beginning January 1, our hours will be:

• Monday-Friday: 5:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.
• Saturday: 8:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m.
• Sunday: 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

We recognize that these changes may be especially challenging for riders who work second shift or rely on later evening trips. We’re sharing the approved hours now so riders have time to review their travel needs and make other arrangements for trips outside the new hours.

Current service hours remain in place through December 31, 2026.
