The City of Milwaukee Health Department is offering free shuttle service to the Miller Park COVID-19 testing site.  The shuttle will operate with continuously from 10:30am until 6:00pm on weekdays, beginning a half-hour before testing starts.

The shuttle provides an additional way for people to access testing.  The Miller Park site is already open to both drive-up and walk-up patrons.

Passengers aboard the shuttle will be required to wear masks.  Seating on the shuttle is arranged to maintain social distancing.

The Health Department is using Federal CARES Act funds to support the shuttle operation. An additional shuttle route to the Miller Park testing site is in the planning stages and could begin service as soon as next week.
