Note: At the end of 2018 we suspended the addition of new stations. Maybe someday we'll resume expansion. Watch this space!

Maps

The DRT's Cartographic Department has been hard at work on an interactive Google Map of the DRT system. This clickable and zoomable map shows the locations of all DRT subway lines and stations — existing and proposed — overlaid on a geographic map of the area. To help plan your travels, you can turn on additional map layers, revealing many of the other trails for which this area is famous: the Maine Ice Age Trail, the Sculpture Trail, the Down East Sunrise Trail, the Maine Birding Trail, and the Downeast Fisheries Trail.

The map is still a work in progress; we ask for your patience as we continue to develop it and work out the bugs.
