About NCRTD
The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) provides bus
service to an area that encompasses over 10,000 square miles of
north central New Mexico including the counties of Los Alamos,
Rio Arriba, Santa Fe and Taos; the Cities of Santa Fe and Española
and the Towns of Taos and Edgewood; as well as the Pueblos of
Pojoaque, Ohkay Owingeh, Nambé, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara and
Tesuque. The RTD “Blue Buses” provide additional transit connections to New Mexico Rail Runner, Santa Fe Trails, NMDOT Park & Ride,
Los Alamos Atomic City Transit, Taos RTD Chile Line and Red River
Miner’s Transit. For more information on ADA services, read below
and please visit RideTheBlueBus.com or call 866-206-0754. The District’s Taos Express provides weekend premium fare service between
Taos, Española and Santa Fe.
Serving Persons with Disabilities
All vehicles are wheelchair accessible. For qualifying persons with
disabilities NCRTD also provides an ADA paratransit service within
the City of Española. For all other routes, the fixed route bus will
“flex” up to ¾ of a mile on paved and/or graveled roads for
qualifying persons with disabilities. These are “origin to destination”
transportation services for persons with disabilities who cannot use
the fixed bus service.
Individuals who wish to be considered for this service will need to
complete an application, have the information verified by a medical
professional, and be certified by the NCRTD as ADA paratransit
eligible. There is no cost for this service. For more information please
call (866) 206 0754 or visit our website at RidetheBlueBus.com
The bus operator will assist an individual to get on or off the bus,
but will not load or unload the individual’s personal belongings or
carry-on items. If an individual needs assistance beyond this, he/
she must be accompanied by a personal care attendant. Required
personal care attendants ride free with the person they are assisting.

Daily Service
To determine when to catch the bus, find the timed bus stops nearest your stop, and read the schedule
from left to right. To know when you should arrive at a stop that is between the listed time points, use
the time from the timed bus stop before your stop. Time points are approximate, so plan to arrive at the
bus stop five minutes early.
If no time is shown, that trip does not serve that time point stop.

Timed bus stops are major stops along the route. Timed bus stops are reference points indicating when
the bus will be at each major stop. Other bus stops may be in between timed bus stops. These stops are
shown on the map but not listed in the schedule because they are very close in time to one or more
timed bus stops.
