Fort Cavazos has piloted a transportation revolution with the launch of the Cavazos Connector, an app-based fare free mass-transit system operating on Fort Cavazos designed to enhance the quality of life for Service Members, Family Members, DoD Civilians, Retirees, and Veterans in the Fort Cavazos community.
The Cavazos Connector consists of two systems working in tandem: the Micro-Transit System and the Circulator Route. All Cavazos Connector buses are clearly labeled so passengers know they are riding a free fare service.
CIRCULATOR ROUTE: This route services three high use stops (Copeland Center, Visitor Center, and Carl R. Darnall Hospital) and operates so that a full cycle can be completed in 10-15 minutes. With a connection at the Visitor Center a rider can connect with the off-post regional system to Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Killeen, and Copperas Cove. The Circulator route does not require a reservation to ride – just hop on!
MICROTRANSIT SYSTEM: Functions like a popular ride share services such as Uber™ and Lyft™. One zone covers barracks areas, and five zones cover the main cantonment area, West Fort Cavazos, and family housing areas. A rider can be picked up within a zone and taken somewhere within the same zone, an adjacent zone, the Visitor Center, or even to the Circulator Route.
Trips can be booked through the HOP/Cavazos Connector App or by calling 254-933-3700 and speaking with a scheduler. The service operates Weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m and Weekends and Holidays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
