Public Transportation
Division Overview
Calvert County, through the Public Transportation Division of the Department of Community Resources, serves the transportation needs of the 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.
Real-Time Bus Tracking Using Passio GO! App
The Calvert County Public Transportation Division has launched a new mobile app that allows bus riders to track buses in real time. The Passio GO! app gives passengers access to live bus locations, estimated arrival times and route information directly from their smartphones. The app is available as a free download through the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
View real-time bus information right from your web browser using the Passio GO! interactive Calvert County transportation map.

Public Transportation Bus Rules & Regulations
- 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.
