Public Transportation
Division Overview
Calvert County, through the Public Transportation Division of the Department of Community Resources, serves the transportation needs of the general public as well as the elderly and persons with disabilities. The county provides eight fixed routes and four demand-response/para-transit routes to link residents with major shopping, medical and employment areas, as well as with public services available in Prince Frederick.
Our Mission
To provide a high-quality transportation service to the citizens of Calvert County that is safe, dependable, and responsive to the needs of the community.
Calvert County Public Transportation uses a Flag System
All Calvert County public transportation routes operate through the use of designated reference points for timing the route and the “flag system.” Riders must flag down the bus and can board anywhere along the route where the driver deems it safe to pull over.
The bus schedules list locations that are not bus stops; they are reference points for timing the route. Riders may board at other points along the route.

Value Cards
Value Cards are available in the amounts of $10, $15, $20, $30, and $40 and can be used just like cash on any of our buses with an electronic fare box. The total amount due will be deducted from the card as you swipe it to pay your fare. These cards can be purchased at the Transportation Office or from your bus driver. If you plan to purchase one from the bus driver please let the driver know the day before you plan on purchasing one so they can request it from the office and have it ready for you
Public Transportation Bus Rules & Regulations
- Have fare ready BEFORE boarding the bus (change is provided in the form of a change card, drivers do not carry cash).
- To flag the bus, be at a safe location along the route and be on the appropriate side of the street (boarding side of the bus). Be clear in flagging the driver. If you are able, call the Transportation Office ahead of time so the driver can be notified to be looking for you. This will decrease your chances of being missed or not seen by the driver.
