UPDATE: Citrus Connection will resume regular fixed-route weekday and full paratransit service on Tuesday.
Original Story:
Fixed route transit services are being suspended in Polk County ahead of Hurricane Dorian's anticipated landfall in Florida.
Citrus Connection, which provides bus service, will stop driving its fixed routes at the close of business on Friday. And, there's no word yet on when service will begin again.
