Wildfire repairs to U.S. 199 between the Oregon border and California coast have completed so the POINT is now able to resume normal service. As part of the return to full service, the bus bridge between POINT and JCT in the Cave Junction-Grants Pass area has been ended in order to better serve our riders and improve coordination with other services. POINT riders can now travel through the region every day without needing to transfer to another bus service. Our riders will also continue to enjoy free transfers onto JCT, RVTD, and RCT at the end of their ride (just ask your driver for a free transfer slip!).

Effective May 1, 2024, we will be making minor schedule changes to the NorthWest Route. These changes will help ensure buses get to their stops on time with fewer delays. Passengers let us know how important these things are on our 2023 rider survey. The new schedule will maintain all of our important connections to services along the coast and to Amtrak trains at Portland Union Station! View and download a PDF version of the new schedule.

Effective Monday, December 11, 2023, we will be making major changes to the northbound schedule to coincide with the recently announced new Amtrak Cascades train schedule. There will also be a few small changes to the southbound schedule. Our new schedule will help us make connections with all of our NorthWest Route buses in Portland as well as the new trains. The new schedule is below. Passengers who have already purchased a ticket should contact Amtrak if you need to change your itinerary.

Effective May 1, 2023, we will be resuming Saturday-Sunday service for the Eastern Route! Weekend service was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and has not been possible to resume due to driver shortages. Weekend service will be on the same schedule as current weekday schedules. View our Eastern Route schedules.

Effective May 1, 2023, we will be making schedule changes to the NorthWest Route. Please review the new schedule below and note the changes in red.

These minor adjustments will help ensure buses get to their stops on time. They will also improve connections to Sunset Empire Transportation District and Tillamook County Transportation District in addition to connections with Amtrak trains at Portland Union Station.

POINT always prioritizes connections with other services and builds its schedules to maximize the number of connections at every stop. Please check out all the options available by using the Connections & Parking tool on the NorthWest page.
