NMDOT Park and Ride is the name given to a network of intercity buses in New Mexico and Texas, operated by the New Mexico Department of Transportation. The network is composed of eleven routes, including eight intercity routes and three local shuttle routes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is the fifth largest public bus transit operation in New Mexico based on ridership, with a yearly ridership of 315,738 for 2014. Service is provided in the morning and evening peak hours, with no service during midday, and buses operate on weekdays only.




History


NMDOT Park and Ride began service in 2003, operating the Blue, Green and Red routes. Service began on the Purple route – then serving Santa Fe and Albuquerque – a few months after. In the following years, Park and Ride expanded service even further, opening the Orange, Silver and Turquoise routes. In 2008, the New Mexico Rail Runner Express was extended to Santa Fe, and so the Purple route was rerouted as an express between Los Alamos and the NM 599 Rail Runner station. The most recent route on the system, the Gold Route, was opened in 2009, marking the first extension of the network into Texas.
In 2015, Park and Ride launched "P&RealTime", which allows passengers to track real-time bus locations online, which can be set up to give alerts during service disruptions.

Currently, Park and Ride operates six routes in its northern network, two routes on its southern network, and two local routes in Santa Fe to connect passengers to the Rail Runner.
