After Bigfork’s downtown bridge closure, some local businesses began to think about a shuttle service. With the help of the Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce’s Fund the Fork initiative, a six-seat electric Ryd shuttle launched this June.
“Having connectivity between Bigfork and Woods Bay is huge for guests and for residents… there’s no safe place to walk,” said chamber executive director Rebekah King.
The shuttle is free for all users, running every day but Tuesday; 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. It is available on-demand by texting the driver, who will arrive in around ten minutes. Stops include Whistling Andy’s Crafthouse and continue south to Harvest Foods, the Grand Avenue parking lot, Fieldheads Coffee House, Sliter Park, and Timbers Motel all the way to Max’s Market.
