UTrans is temporarily reducing service due to a staff shortage which is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Umpqua Transit District General Manager Cheryl Cheas said they have carefully selected the cuts based on an attempt to minimally impact those who are dependent on public transportation to maintain independent lives. Cheas said they are hoping to move forward with this level of service over the next week.
