Salem-Keizer Transit

David Trimble is the CEO of Cherriots.

Cherriots provides a range of public transportation services including fixed-route bus services, paratransit services for individuals with disabilities, and a ride-sharing program. The fixed-route buses operate throughout the urban growth boundary of Salem and Keizer, making it easy for residents to access essential services, employment, and recreational activities.

You can plan your trip using the Cherriots website or mobile app, where you can find route maps, schedules, and real-time bus tracking. Simply enter your starting location and destination, and the system will provide you with the best routes, transfer points, and estimated travel times. Additionally, customer service representatives are available to assist you with trip planning.

Cherriots prioritizes the safety and cleanliness of its buses by implementing rigorous cleaning protocols, including regular sanitization of high-touch surfaces. During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional measures such as mask mandates and social distancing guidelines were enforced to protect both passengers and drivers. Cherriots continues to monitor health guidelines to ensure a safe travel environment.

Yes, Cherriots offers discounted fare options for seniors, students, and individuals with disabilities. Seniors aged 65 and older can receive a reduced fare, while students enrolled in local schools can also benefit from discounted rates. To access these discounts, eligible riders must present valid identification when purchasing tickets or boarding the bus.

Cherriots is committed to improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion by providing efficient public transportation options that encourage residents to use buses instead of personal vehicles. By increasing public transit ridership, Cherriots helps decrease the number of cars on the road, leading to lower emissions and a healthier environment for the community.

If you have lost an item on a Cherriots bus, you should contact the Cherriots Lost and Found department as soon as possible. You can reach them by phone or through the Cherriots website. Provide a detailed description of the item and the route you were on, and they will assist you in recovering your lost belongings.
