The Camas Connector

Welcome to the Camas Connector:

Now accepting next-day and same-day ride reservations (Effective January 14, 2007)

As part of a demonstration project, The Camas Connector now accepts same-day and next-day ride reservations for your convenience! Reservations can now be made in as little as two hours and up to 24 hours in advance. Unfortunately, reservations made more than 24 hours in advance will not be accepted.

Please note that this is only a demonstration. If the new reservation requirements are unable to meet the needs of our passengers we will go back to using the previous reservation requirements of at least 24 hours advanced notification.

For more information, please call (360) 695-0123 and ask a Passenger Service Representative for details.

Service Area

Operating within a defined geographical area (see map), riders call and make reservations to be taken to a location inside the geographical boundary. Passengers can also connect with regular bus routes or C-VAN at the Fisher’s Landing Transit Center or Third Avenue and NE Dallas in Camas, whichever is closest or best for routing efficiency.

Next-Day Reservations	(360) 695-8918
*Same-Day Reservations	(360) 606-0277

*C-VAN can not accommodate same-day ride requests. Reservations that require a transfer to C-VAN must be made one day in advance. C-VAN reservations are available only for ADA eligible riders

All reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis and are contingent upon time and space availability. In rare instances, a ride may not be accommodated.

Standing Reservations
For regular, recurring trips such as work trips, passengers may also reserve permanent or “standing” ride reservations. Once capacity of the bus or time constraints have been reached, requests for standing reservations may not be accommodated.

How to Schedule
To ensure you reach your final destination on time, when making your reservation, you will need to tell the Passenger Service Representative the time you need to arrive at your destination. For example, if you need to be at work at Hewlett-Packard at 7 a.m. or want to transfer to the 8 a.m. departure of the #92 at 3rd and Dallas in Camas, after your ride is confirmed the Representative will give you a 20-minute pick-up window, which means the bus will arrive no earlier or later than the specified time.

Cancellations
If you do not need a ride you have reserved, please call to cancel as soon as possible. Cancel a minimum of one hour in advance of your pick-up time. If you do not cancel your reservation, C-TRAN’s No- Show Policy will apply.

Snow Days
If adverse weather conditions require C-TRAN to follow Snow & Ice Detours, all standing rides and advanced ride reservations will be automatically cancelled. Please call (360) 606-0277 if you still need your ride. We will provide rides based on our ability to access locations within the service area.
