SCAT provides a critical service in our community to get people to work, to stores for groceries and supplies and to necessary appointments. In response to the current COVID-19 situation, we are operating a modified fixed-route service.
Routes 4, 11 and 18 have been temporarily suspended and replaced with a on-demand curb-to-curb service.
- SCAT Routes 23, 26, 30, 33 and the Siesta Key Breeze Trolley are temporarily suspended.
- Fares for both fixed routes and SCAT Plus are temporarily suspended.
- The Downtown Transfer Station ticketing office is closed until further notice.
Passengers are reminded to follow the CDC suggestions regarding public transit:
- Limit use of public transportation to essential trips only.
- Keep your distance as much as possible.
- If the bus is full, consider riding another time or using alternative transportation choices.
- Select essential need destinations close to your home.
- Do not ride the bus if you are sick!
- Cough into a tissue or inside of your elbow.
- Dispose of used tissues into the trash.
SCAT routes 4, 11 and 18 have been replaced by on-demand curb-to-curb service. Passengers within service areas must call MTM Transit at 941-777-6000 to schedule trips.
SCAT will be suspending fixed-route service and implementing on-demand curb-to-curb service to the following routes:
- Route 18 to Longboat Key

- Route 11 to Siesta Key
A map of curb-to-curb service areas can be found here.
Service will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a target response time of 60 minutes. Passengers are encouraged to schedule their trips further in advance to ensure easier scheduling.
SCAT is operating this service for essential trips only:
- Employment
- Medical appointments
- Pharmacy
- Grocery shopping
Additional schedule changes are being considered for fixed-route service. Please continue to visit scgov.net to check the status of routes before planning trips on public transit.
