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.
