MAYVILLE – CARTS Public Transportation, in conjunction with Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work & Play, now have two additional bike racks on the buses serving the Westfield to Jamestown corridor via Route 394.
CARTS buses also serving Jamestown, Falconer, Celoron, Lakewood and Dunkirk are now available to transport riders with bicycles.
Funding for the bike racks came from the Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work & Play initiative of the New York State Health Department. This is being administered locally by the Chautauqua County Health Network (CCHN) and aims to reduce chronic disease by promoting more active lifestyles, as well as healthy foods.
All drivers have been trained on proper rack usage and safety matters.
