Amarillo City Transit (ACT) History
The City of Amarillo provides public transit services, operated by the
Amarillo City Transit Department. Amarillo City Transit (ACT) services
include fixed route transit and demand response paratransit. Local transit
services for the City have been in operation since 1925. The City of
Amarillo began operating the local bus system in 1966; prior to that time
the system was privately owned.
Paratransit service, designated as
“Spec-Trans” for persons with disabilities was initiated in July of 1987.
Spec-Trans is reserved for persons who are unable to navigate an accessible
fixed route bus and system.
ACT does not subcontract any part of the
services that are provided. The major trip generators include the medical
center, education facilities, shopping centers and state offices. ACT does
not provide transportation services for any agencies or programs. This
service is dedicated to certified clients only.
