An audit completed earlier this year proved an unqualified opinion, despite allegations made against BJCTA, which means that an independent auditor’s judgment confirmed the organization’s financial statements were fairly and appropriately presented. The city of Vestavia Hills did receive an incorrect invoice which was provided by a former employee. A new and corrected invoice has since been submitted to the city manager. BJCTA is committed to providing accurate billing to all of our partnering cities.

Ensuring the operations of the transit authority run smoothly begin with its employees – from administrative staff to operators – putting their best effort forward and administration is committed to finding superb employees to do so.

The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) Announces

Notification of Route Changes

 

Effective Monday, December 3, 2018

 

Birmingham, AL – Previously announced route changes which were to take place on November 5, 2018 have been postponed until December 3, 2018.  The date change was implemented in order to ensure passenger safety by allowing MAX operators time to be fully trained on the new routes.  The changes were designed to improve frequency of trips in certain routes and reduce the time a rider is waiting on their bus.

 

“By delaying the route change for 30 days, we are also giving our riders an opportunity to completely understand the changes and determine how they can incorporate them into their transportation planning,” said Christopher Ruffin, interim executive director of BJCTA.  “We are undertaking additional avenues of communication with our passengers to ensure they are informed in multiple channels.”

 

Route changes will include:

• Route #3 – Jefferson and Route #28 – South Eastlake: No longer Cross-Town
• Route #3 – Jefferson: Extended to serve a portion of the west Lakeshore area
• Route #28 – South Eastlake: Slight route change
• Route #39 – Homewood: ELIMINATED
• Route #42 – Brookwood and Route #31 – Hoover: Consolidated Route. Trips to Homewood, Brookwood Hospital and Brookwood Mall reduced to seven (7) on weekdays and five (5) on Saturdays
• Route #99 – Mountain Brook: Spartan Shuttle three month pilot
