Cascades East Transit provides Central Oregon public transportation services. From Ride the River in the summer, which transports floaters from the Deschutes River ‘get out’ in Drake Park back to the Park & Float, to fixed-route city bus service and intercity connectors, CET helps provide Central Oregon public transportation services.
