Lee-Russell Public Transit (LRTP)

Take advantage of Lee-Russell Public Transit's (LRTP) convenient bus schedule and routes. LRTP operates a fixed route service with complimentary paratransit service in the city limits of Auburn and Opelika and a demand response service in the unincorporated areas of Lee & Russell Counties.   

It’s an easy, inexpensive and convenient way to travel.  LRTP is for anyone who needs transportation, wants to protect the environment, or  wants to save money on gasoline costs.  Whether you are traveling to work, to school, or to shopping areas across town,  LRTP will get you where you want to go! 

 AS OF MARCH 1, 2006 THE LRTP FIXED ROUTE

The new LRTP fixed route will have one bus starting at Raintree and Jeter in Opelika at 6:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and another bus starting at the same time at Wal-Mart in Auburn.  These buses travel along the route as noted on the map (see below).  When the Auburn bus reaches Raintree and Jeter, it will turn around and return along the same route to Auburn Wal-Mart; the Opelika bus will turn around at Auburn Wal-Mart and travel back to Raintree and Jeter.  Each route is two hours long and has the same stops.  There will be no transfer points on the route. 

DRIVERS DO NOT MAKE CHANGE.  YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT CHANGE FOR EACH FARE LISTED ABOVE.   FARE CARDS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE DRIVERS.

LRTP PARATRANSIT SERVICE

We will be providing paratransit service to certified individuals within the city limits of Auburn and Opelika.  However, if the demand becomes too great for us to provide service to those individuals who live within 3/4 mile of the fixed route, as required by ADA, then we will have to start providing service to those within the city limits, but outside the 3/4 mile, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

LRTP DEMAND RESPONSE SERVICE

• The area in Lee County which is outside the city limits of Auburn and Opelika has been divided into three zones.  Please call for information on which zone you might be located in - 334-749-9092.
• Those individuals who live in the East and South zones will be provided service on Tuesday and Thursday only each week. 
• Those who live in the West zone will be provided service only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. 
• Individuals using this service need to be ready to be picked up at 9:00 a.m. because we will be picking up everyone who schedules in a given area between 9:00 and 10:30 and then will begin dropping off in town. 
• Drivers will return beginning at 2:30 each afternoon to pickup individuals and return them to their homes.  If you plan to go somewhere else between your drop off and pickup, you will need to tell us that when you call to schedule your ride.
