Where's My Bus!
The Santee Wateree RTA has recently changed to a new scheduling and dispatching software. The new software will help us better serve our passengers and communities of Sumter, Lee, Orangeburg and Calhoun counties. Passengers can use their computer, laptop, tablet or phone to access the Passenger Bus Portal to see their bus location, the scheduled time and predicted time of the bus stop arrival. We will also now be able to post any delays in service, as well as, send messages out to the passengers on this portal.
