With the predicted heavy rainfall for the coming months, the City of San Luis Obispo Transit (SLO Transit) is taking steps toward storm preparedness and making it a little easier for its passengers to navigate the wet weather. SLO Transit will be distributing SLO Transit branded rain ponchos to passengers boarding the bus on select rainy days. Rain ponchos are available in limited supply and solely as a promotional opportunity, so passengers are encouraged to save and reuse their poncho throughout the rainy season.
“The rain ponchos are intended to help keep our passengers dry as they travel on SLO Transit during rainy days. We hope this will make their commute just a little bit easier,” states Transit Manager Gamaliel Anguiano. When wearing their poncho, passengers are encouraged to post pictures on social media and tag SLO Transit on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; if they appreciate having them.
SLO Transit rain ponchos are hooded and blue in color with the repeated imprint of buses and the slotransit.org logo. Ponchos are packaged in a reusable plastic pouch, making it easy for passengers to store their SLO Transit rain poncho for the next rainy day.
SLO Transit is the local fixed-route transit operation for the City of San Luis Obispo, operating directly out of the City’s Public Works Department. SLO Transit operates 10 vehicles at peak along eight fixed routes within 23 square miles of the city limits of San Luis Obispo and California Polytechnic State University. SLO Transit operates Monday through Friday approximately from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can learn more by visiting
