Starting on June 1, 2023, Route 130 is free for everyone to ride until June 30, 2024! This is made possible by a grant called the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) provided by the California’s Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in an effort to reduce carbon emissions of single occupancy vehicles.

With the reopening of SR 178, we will be returning to our usual schedule effective Monday, June 5th. Please note that we may experience delays due to one-way traffic control in the canyon.

In observance of Easter, there will be no bus service on Sunday, April 9, 2023. En conmemoración de la Pascua, no habrá servicio de autobús en el domingo, 9 de abril de 2023.
