At Ozark Regional Transit (ORT), we’re committed to making public transit more efficient and accessible across Northwest Arkansas. In 2025, Rogers riders can look forward to new and improved routes that enhance connectivity and streamline services throughout the region.
What’s New for Rogers?
Rogers is receiving several key updates this year:
Bentonville-Rogers Connector (BRC): Transitioning from the Bentonville-Rogers Express (BRX), this route creates a more efficient connection between Rogers and Bentonville.
Route 53: Linking key locations in Rogers, including Mercy Medical Center, Walmart AMP, Scottsdale Center, and Hunt Tower.
Route 54: Connecting Rogers Convention Center, Embassy Suites, and other important destinations, with a stop at the David Glass Technology Center in Bentonville.
Route 490 Update: The NWACC Express will continue to serve multiple cities, including Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale, and Fayetteville. It connects key locations such as NWACC Main Campus, Uptown Rogers, and NWA Mall.

How Routes Are Prioritized
ORT evaluates route requests on a first-come, first-served basis. Each new route depends on our ability to sustainably support it with enough drivers, buses, and staff. The Rogers updates are part of a broader effort to improve transit across the region while ensuring our resources are used effectively.
