MCT announces May 2023 service changes; route, minor schedule adjustments effective May 7
On Sunday, May 7, 2023, Madison County Transit (MCT) will implement a series of adjustments as part of its regularly scheduled spring service change.
In an effort to best serve riders, MCT examines and adjusts its service offerings three times each year. “MCT is continually working to improve upon the services we offer residents and visitors of Madison County,” said MCT Managing Director SJ Morrison. “It’s our hope that even minor route and schedule changes will improve the MCT experience for our passengers.”
One such improvement takes place in Collinsville where MCT is re-routing trips to Mall Street behind Walmart, to provide better transit access to the new home of the Collinsville Food Pantry. A summary of additional service changes can be found below:

- #5 Tri-City Regional: Shift the first two afternoon trips from St. Louis eight minutes earlier. Reduce the running time from Emerson Park to 3rd Street/Canal Street from 11 minutes to 8 minutes, prior to 7 p.m., and from 8 minutes to 7 minutes after 7 p.m.
