An article in Rogue Report earlier this month had inaccurate information about transit service at RCC’s Redwood Campus. Josephine Community Transit (JCT) has reduced the number of runs on Routes 10 and 50 serving Redwood Campus, but the routes themselves are not being eliminated. Route 100 that connects Grants Pass, Rogue River, Gold Hill and Medford will also continue.
- Route 10 to Grants Pass: Last stop at RWC will be at 6:20 p.m.
- Rote 50: Last run to Cave Junction will pick up at RWC at 4:50 p.m.
RCC students and staff can ride JCT for free—anywhere within the JCT system, not just to/from campus—by presenting a valid RCC ID, current class schedule or an RVTD Bus Pass. This includes use of the Transit on Demand program that allows riders to schedule shared rides throughout the Grants Pass urban area in the evening (until 9:30) after the regular route stops for the night.
Transit on Demand rides can be scheduled by phone after 5 p.m. (541-474-5452) or any time through the JCT mobile app (search “Josephine Community Transit” at your app store). Transit on Demand is available to all riders; it’s a different service from Dial-a-Ride, which is specific to seniors and people with disabilities. All vehicles are ADA-compliant and have bike racks accommodating up to three bikes.
In Jackson County, RCC students can ride Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) buses for $15 per term ($30 for employees). RVTD bus passes can be purchased at the Front Street Station (200 S. Front St., Medford) starting one week before the first day of each term. An RCC ID or current class schedule is required.
RVTD recently eliminated several Jackson County bus routes, including Route 61 that served Table Rock Campus. RCC students and employees interested in carpooling are invited to connect through RVTD’s Get There Network. The site also offers opportunities to participate in walking, biking and other transportation challenges for chances to win prizes.
