CROOKSTON, MINN. — New Year, New Routes, New Opportunities! Tri-Valley Opportunity Council, Inc. is excited to announce that beginning January 1, 2027, T.H.E. Bus (Tri-Valley Heartland Express) will expand its public transportation services to Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties!
This expansion marks an exciting opportunity to connect more communities across northwest Minnesota with reliable, accessible, and affordable transportation. We look forward to welcoming new riders and working with local communities to help meet their transportation needs.
Connecting Communities and Creating Opportunities
Transportation plays an important role in helping people get to work, attend medical appointments, go shopping, visit friends and family, and participate in community activities. By expanding into Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties, Tri-Valley Transportation will help provide more options for residents who rely on public transportation to stay connected and maintain their independence.
T.H.E. Bus provides curb-to-curb public transportation services to the general public. Our buses are ADA accessible, and our goal is to provide safe, dependable, and friendly service to every rider.
A New Chapter for Tri-Valley Transportation
We are looking forward to building relationships with residents, businesses, community organizations, and local leaders throughout Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties. Our team is committed to learning about the unique transportation needs of these communities and working together to provide services that make a difference.
As we prepare for this exciting expansion, we encourage community members to watch for additional information regarding routes, schedules, fares, and how to schedule a ride.
We are excited to hit the road in Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties on January 1, 2027!
Thank you for welcoming Tri-Valley Transportation into your communities. We look forward to serving you!
