Weekly Transit Shuttle Heads North Tomorrow Morning
Tygh Valley, OR · October 19, 2026
Monday mornings run a little smoother when you remember tomorrow's shuttle north leaves right from the general store. Take a quiet breath before the week picks up steam—there is tea and yoga waiting down by the river this evening.
The Lead
For residents looking to knock out weekly errands in The Dalles without braving Highway 197 themselves, tomorrow brings the sole transit run of the week. Operated by the Mid-Columbia Economic Development District under The Link, the South Wasco County Shuttle departs every Tuesday morning, swinging through Maupin, Pine Hollow, Wamic, and Dufur, with a regular stop outside the Tygh Valley General Store around 9:15 AM.
Since summer service consolidations trimmed the schedule down from two days a week, the Tuesday loop has become an indispensable lifeline for local seniors, medical commuters, and car-free households. The lift-equipped bus delivers passengers directly to clinic doors, grocery aisles, and shopping centers before gathering everyone for the 2:00 PM return trek—all for a $5 roundtrip fare. Anyone requiring door-to-door curb service should ring dispatch this afternoon to lock in a seat before wheels roll.
