Effective December 23, 2024 MiWay will make adjustments to two routes and service frequency changes in order to:
- Respond to road construction at Dixie Mall
- Align service with seasonal demand during the holidays
Changes to Route 5 Dixie and Launch of Route 31 Ogden
In response to Dixie Road construction, a permanent route is being introduced to provide consistent, reliable service for riders along Dixie Road and in Lakeview. Route 5 Dixie southbound will no longer service Ogden Road. Instead, the new Route 31 Ogden, operating seven days a week, will replace the temporary Ogden Shuttle, offering direct access from Dixie Outlet Mall to Long Branch GO and along Ogden Road. This change will enable riders to plan their trips online with greater accuracy and reliability.
Seasonal Adjustments for Holiday Demand
From December 23 to January 5 seasonal service frequency changes will be in place to align with holiday travel demand.This includes a reduced schedule during weekdays and special holiday service on certain routes. Key changes include:
High School Routes: Due to high school holiday closures, all 300-series routes will pause service from December 23, 2024, to January 3, 2025. Regular service resumes on Monday, January 6, 2025.
Ride Free New Year’s Eve: To encourage safe holiday celebrations, MiWay will offer free rides beginning at 7 p.m. on December 31. Several key routes will operate until 4 a.m. on January 1 to support riders getting home safely.
