All trips must either start or end at the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, and the origin or destination must be in the Flagstaff city limits.
Mountain Line GO! Airport began service on March 1, using Mountain Line’s smaller paratransit vans to give a flexible transportation option that does not run on a regular schedule or route. Riders may download the Mountain Line GO! app, request a ride at the desired time, and if a vehicle is available, the trip will be booked. All trips must either start or end at the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, and the origin or destination must be in the Flagstaff city limits.
Mountain Line GO! Airport provides these tips:
- Trips can be booked up to 14 days in advance. It is recommended that riders book as early as possible to guarantee availability.
- Mountain Line GO! is a shared ride service, so if other people are heading in the same direction at the same time, there could be multiple people on a vehicle, and vehicles may make stops along the way. For those traveling to the airport, it is important to use the “arrive by” feature when booking to ensure a timely arrival. This is found under “schedule” in the lower left corner of the app.
- Service hours are from 4:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily. Trips between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. must be booked by 5 p.m. the day before.
- The $2 per person fare can be paid through the app or with exact change when boarding.
- According to federal mandate, face coverings are required on all public transit vehicles and at all facilities.
“Flagstaff is fortunate to have both a robust transit system and a thriving airport, and this pilot program brings a low-cost and efficient connection between the two entities,” said Flagstaff City Councilmember and NAIPTA Board Chair Adam Shimoni. “Reducing our reliance on single passenger vehicles to access major destinations like the airport is a critical part of the Climate Action Plan and I look forward to using the data gathered during the pilot to craft a long-term solution.”
Riders without smartphone access can book via phone by calling 928-679-8989 between 8 a.m. and noon and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, visit www.mountainline.az.gov/goairport for full details. FBN
