Public transit is a vital life-line service for both transit dependent and other riders that need access to services, places and people. To provide safe and reliable transit for riders requiring essential travel during the COVID-19 Pandemic, SLO Transit has temporarily suspended fares and will not require payment when boarding. The safety of SLO Transit customers and employees is our top priority and social distancing requirements are in place for all buses and vehicles.
“Providing safe, accessible and reliable transit services during the COVID-19 pandemic is our number one priority.” Transit Manager, Gamaliel Anguiano said. “We also have implemented social distancing requirements to protect our employees and customers.”
Social distancing is vital to slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our community and to protect the health and safety of our friends, families, neighbors and especially those most vulnerable.
SLO Transit will still be operating on the Weekend Schedule, 8:00 a.m. 8:00 p.m., daily until further notice (“A” routes only). Tripper service (SLT, LT, HT) and Trolley service are also still suspended until further notice. For route and schedule information, please visit slotransit.org, download the SLO Transit App, or contract Transit Dispatch at (805) 541-2877.
Community members can count on the City to continue providing essential services, like transit, to the community through this difficult time.
