Shuttles are a popular way to get from one point on the trail to another, or even beyond the trail. You can cover twice the amount of trail if you don’t have to turn around at your halfway point to return on your bike.

Most shuttles charge by the trip, rather than by the number of riders – so a shuttle trip for one rider might cost the same amount as for four riders. This provides an opportunity to save some money – and make new friends – by sharing a shuttle ride with someone.

To make it easier for riders to share a shuttle, one of the shuttle operators suggested that I create a feature where people who need a shuttle can get together, to share a shuttle with someone else.

So, if you think you might be "shuttling" any time this season, take a look at the Katy Trail Share a Shuttle web page. Add your information to the list, or reply to anyone else whose shuttle needs are similar to yours. I’ve started off with a couple of sample entries to help give you an idea of how it would work.

Your feedback is welcome!

That's a great idea Ray.....another way this site is way ahead of the game as a resource while planning a trip. We just got back from riding the Great River Trail/Elroy-Sparta/Omaha and certainly wish we had a bikeelroy.com type site to help us plan.

I am trying to figure out that if we (4 of us) start in Booneville and finish in St. Charles what possible ways can we get back to our car in Booneville. AMTRAC OR BUS OR WHAT? Thanks. Carl Awsumb

Carl....the Amtrak doesnt stop in Boonville. Perhaps this shuttle share idea.

Great idea Ray, I think it would be helpful to add the shuttle operators’ information to the web page so those that needed to use a shuttle service would have all the information they would need in one spot. I think the shuttle operators should at a minimum provide their hours and season of operations, location(s), phone, fax, email address, numbers and types of shuttles available, shuttle capacities, their rates, and if the rates are per person or per shuttle.
