Change in SCAT Service and Public Workshops

By -
To all who use SCAT service in Lake Sarasota -

Route 14 - Bee Ridge Rd. - SCAT Service Update

Due to the construction at Wake Ave, Middlesex Pl and Berkshire Rd, SCAT buses cannot continue service into the lake Sarasota Area.

Therefore, effective Monday December 7, 2015 SCAT will no longer turn into the residential area at Middlesex PL.

All SCAT service will remain on Bee Ridge Rd.

Operators will maintain schedules as to be at Middlesex and Bee Ridge at the current posted Middlesex times. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
