Denton County is offering free bus rides for those headed to Texas Motor Speedway to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
The bus service, which began Friday, runs from two locations: the Denton County Transportation Authority’s Hebron station in Lewisville and DCTA’s downtown transit center in Denton, according to a news release.
We are so appreciative of our local transportation partners who jumped at the opportunity to provide transportation to our residents who need assistance in arriving at Texas Motor Speedway, Denton County Judge Andy Eads said in a written statement. This effort is part of our mission to ensure everyone across all four corners of the county has access to transportation in order to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
To schedule a ride, people should call Denton County Transportation Authority customer service at 940-243-0077 as soon they receive a text, email or phone notification of their vaccination appointment.
Shuttle trips must be coordinated and booked with DCTA before arriving at one of the two shuttle hubs. The hubs are the DCTA Downtown Denton Transit Center, 604 E. Hickory St. in Denton, and the Hebron Station, 952 Lakeside Circle in Lewisville.
Beginning Friday, two Denton County transit services will provide free bus rides to the mass vaccine clinics at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.
The bus service will run from two locations starting Feb. 26: Denton County Transportation Authority’s Hebron station in Lewisville, and the agency’s downtown transit center in Denton.
“As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to more people, DCTA is dedicated to ensuring that transportation is not a hindrance in getting vaccinated,” Raymond Suarez, the transit agency’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Offering this service aligns with our commitment to help keep our communities safe and provide mobility options for those who need it.”
