RPT service changes, relocation of Transit Center to Central Park effective April 6
March 27, 2025 – ROCHESTER, MINN. – The Rochester Public Transit (RPT) service changes go into effect on April 6, 2025. These changes include:
- The temporary relocation of the Downtown Transit Center to Central Park
- The temporary relocation of stops on 2nd Street between 11th Avenue SW and 6th Avenue SW
- Minor adjustments to route timetables considering construction detours
- Updates to Route 412 service path
- RPT GO, the City’s on-demand microtransit pilot program, will expand to include Central Park as a second downtown hub
Updated routes and schedules can be viewed on the RPT website, rptride.com. Starting April 6, the Transit app will be updated with the new schedules. New printed schedules will also be available beginning March 31.
The service changes being implemented on April 6 are, in part, the result of construction in the downtown area. The changes to stops located in the downtown area are expected to be in place through summer 2026. RPT anticipates future detours along many routes throughout the construction period. Please continue to monitor the Transit app and rptride.com for updated route and stop information.
