Ride "The Downtown Loop"
FREE Shuttle Service
Local Shops, Restaurants and Attractions
Visitors can now ride “The Downtown Loop” through Olde Towne. This new shuttle service is a convenient way for visitors to travel from the waterfront farther up High Street, into new eateries and stores downtown, while easing parking problems and reducing congestion. Two shuttle buses run by Hampton Roads Transit circle downtown Portsmouth, traveling from hotels to marinas to a commuter parking lot and the local supermarket 'Food Lion'. Service is timed to the arrival of the Elizabeth River Ferry at High Street Landing.
From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the shuttles operate every 15 minutes. From 7 to 10 a.m. and from 8 p.m. to midnight each day, service will run in 30-minute intervals, timed to the arrival of the downtown ferry at High Street Landing.
“The Downtown Loop” has been nearly five years in the making. A $2.4 million federal grant will pay for a pair of low-emission hybrid buses (among the first of its kind in Virginia), operating costs and employee salaries for three years.
You can pick-up the downtown shuttle at High Street Landing and North Landing.
