Route 1 is running 20 minutes late this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions please contact the Transportation Department at 903-834-3138.
To help ease afternoon congestion, Warren Street will now be one-way only from 3:30–4:15 p.m. This change, initiated by Overton PD, allows both lanes to move southbound during pickup, reducing the backup onto Hwy 135.
➡️ In the afternoons, traffic will also exit through the Henderson Street gate after buses depart. This keeps the Warren Street entrance clear for emergency vehicles if needed.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work with our local PD to keep traffic moving safely and smoothly! 💚🐎
