Fargo Sandbag Circulator

Sandbag Central to open

Fargo will be opening Sandbag Central, located on 8th Ave N, starting Tuesday, March 26, 2019 and will operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday until April 5, 2019.

The City is working with local schools and colleges to transport their students to Sandbag Central during school hours to help reach the goal of 1,000,000 sandbags in ten days. This is far fewer sandbags than were needed in 2009, due to the City's flood protection efforts over the past several years.

There is still a need for other volunteers, so MATBUS will be operating a Sandbag Circulator around Sandbag Central to transport volunteers from their cars to the operations site. The map above shows the route the circulator will operate on. This route will have two vehicles operating between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. staggered 5 minutes apart. The route should take no more than 5 minutes to complete, leaving plenty of time for drivers to pick up and drop off passengers in a safe, courteous and effective manner. There will be no bus stops along the route, the route will be a “flag” stop route, meaning when someone wants a ride, all they need to do is wave to the driver, or step off to the side and wait for the vehicle to stop and open the doors.
