OCCK Transportation is announcing changes to CityGo Routes, including the Blue Route Peak service, as part of a larger effort to improve efficiency and streamline public transportation in Salina.

A public hearing will be held on Monday, August 25th, at 4:00 pm, at the City-County Building, 300 W. Ash St., Room 107, to review these changes, answer questions, and gather feedback from the community.

As part of the transition, the Blue Route's peak-time schedule ended on August 2, 2025. The route—which served areas including Otis and Santa Fe Avenue, Oakdale Park, the YMCA, Central Kansas Mental Health and Presbyterian Manor—shifted to a non-peak schedule only.

Beginning August 4, the Blue Route began to operate on its non-peak schedule:

  1. Monday through Friday: 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
  2. Saturday: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Riders affected by the route change are encouraged to utilize the Red, Green, or Yellow Routes, which continue to service most of the same areas.

Additionally, the OCCK On-Demand service is available as a flexible transportation option. This curb-to-curb service operates Monday through Friday, 5:00 am to 10:00 pm, within Salina city limits.

Rides are $5 per trip and can be scheduled through the TransLoc app or by calling (785) 826-1583.
