Improved commuter service between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor is expected to eliminate more than one million vehicle miles a year from local roadways. It will mean cash savings for area workers, new job opportunities for people without cars, less congestion, and a reduction in greenhouse gases linked to global climate change.

     Downeast Transportation provides popular year-round shopping trips to Ellsworth and Bangor, and in-town shuttle service for Bucksport, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and Southwest Harbor. Downeast Transportation also operates the Island Explorer serving Acadia National Park and neighborhing towns from June 23 through Columbus Day.
