Hampton Roads Transit will suspend bus, ferry, light rail, and paratransit services all day Friday, September 6 due to threatening conditions related to Hurricane Dorian.

Bus, light rail, and paratransit services will continue operating all day today (Thursday).

Ferry service will cease operations at 4 p.m. today (Thursday) in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard guidance. There will be a bus bridge from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. transporting passengers between Norfolk and Portsmouth. It will pick up in front of Waterside District in Norfolk and both Portsmouth ferry docks. After 6 p.m. customers will still have use of the bus route 45.

All HRT services are planned to resume normal operations beginning Saturday. This may change, however, if conditions do not allow for services to be restored safely.

Though we realize this is an inconvenience for our community, the safety of our operators and customers is our top priority.
