Service Changes

If there is a detour along any CAT bus route, the bus will follow the detour. The operator will do his/her best to get back on the regular route and schedule as quickly as possible. If you usually get picked up in the middle of an ongoing construction project, we suggest that you wait at the beginning or end of the detour.

Make sure you have the most recent printing of the CAT map. Our newest version was revised as of January 2024.

Service interruptions and detours can also be found by calling 701.258.6817 and selecting option #5.

If a paratransit bus is being used on a fixed route, a color magnet specific to the route will be placed on the vehicle. You can also find this information on our Facebook page BismarckCATBus .

**EXPECT DELAYS ON BLACK ROUTE AT MORNING & AFTERNOON COMMUTE TIMES**
On Wednesday, October 16, 2024, the traffic signal at Century Ave & 4th St will be turned off for roughly one week. The old poles and foundations will be removed, and wiring will be moved from the old poles to the new poles. When work is finished at Century Ave & 4th St, the contractor will move over to Century Ave & Washington St and perform similar work at that intersection. For both intersections, when the signals are dark, lanes will be reduced, and traffic will be controlled with an all-way stop.


Beginning Monday, April 15th, 2024, construction work will close a portion of South Washington Street to 1-lane of traffic. The majority of the work is planned to be completed by the end of the year.

Expect occasional delays on the Green route for the duration of the project.
