JAMESTOWN – The Chautauqua Area Regional Transit System will begin its Saturday City Fixed Routes again next weekend after being shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The transportation system operates in the Jamestown, Falconer, Celoron, Lakewood and Dunkirk Areas. 

“Everyone at CARTS is excited to get the Saturday City Routes back out there, after having to close in March of 2020 due to COVID,” said Michele Westphal, Senior Project Coordinator of CARTS.  “With everything opening back up we felt it would be beneficial to our residents and visitors to restart our Saturday Service.” 





CARTS is still operating under New York State’s COVID-19 guidelines. More improvements and changes to the program are expected to be announced later this summer.

“I am pleased that we can once again offer our County residents and visitors with Saturday service through CARTS,” commented Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel. “This additional day of operation gives our riders even more options to get to and from our local businesses and their services.”
