Expanded Hours Tamarac’s Red Route!As of November 1, 2010, the City of Tamarac expanded itsRED BUS ROUTE to Monday through Friday from 7:00 am -7:00 pm. This change was made possible as a result of Bro-ward County Transit eliminating Route 57 from their dailyschedule. Broward County Route 57 ran from 7:00 am - 7:00pm, Monday through Friday and on Saturdays, and coveredmuch of Tamarac, running from the eastern border along Com-mercial Boulevard and McNab Road, and along Nob Hill andPine Island Roads. The City of Tamarac’s RED BUS ROUTE has expanded service to Monday through Friday from 7:00am - 7:00 pm to help pick up the slack for the eliminated Bro-ward County Route. The additional service hours for the REDROUTE are funded through Broward County. For more infor-mation, call (954) 597-3649, or visit www.tamarac.org/trans-portation. Ride Tamarac Transit!
