Maryland Route 240 toolsHow to Check UTA Route 240 Using a Stop ID
UTA provides a practical option for riders who know their bus stop. Look for the six-digit stop number printed on the physical stop sign, then use UTA’s next-bus information system.
- Find the official UTA Route 240 stop nearest your destination.
- Read the stop ID on the physical stop sign or official map.
- Text the stop ID to 882-882 for Ride Time information.
- Confirm Route 240 appears among the next departures.

Route 240 Alerts: What Can Change Your Bus Trip?
Can change routing and temporary boarding stops.
Snow, ice or other conditions can lead to delays or alternate routes.
New schedule periods may shift first, last and intermediate departures.
Operator availability, incidents or disruptions may affect an individual departure.
Accessibility, Reduced Fares and Boarding Assistance
Accessibility should be checked at both the vehicle and stop level. A bus can have an accessible ramp while the temporary stop is affected by construction, uneven pavement, winter conditions or a relocated boarding point.
Review the operator’s official information about ramps, priority seating, mobility devices and boarding assistance.
Confirm that the actual bus stop, bay or temporary location meets your needs before leaving.
King County Metro, UTA and Maryland MTA publish different eligibility, documentation and fare rules for reduced-fare passengers.
Route 240 Travel Tips That Can Prevent a Missed Bus
Bellevue / Renton
Do not rely only on Bellevue Transit Center’s timetable bay number while the temporary construction reroute remains active. Check whether Route 240 boards at temporary Bay 1.
West Valley / West Jordan
UTA Route 240 travels along the 4000 West corridor. Confirm whether you are traveling toward Jordan Valley Station or West Valley Central, and check the correct six-digit stop number.
Kent Island / Washington
Maryland commuter trips have pickup-only and drop-off-only restrictions. When planning your afternoon return, verify the correct DC pickup stop rather than assuming the morning drop-off location works in reverse.
