Due to the loss of state funding and declining sales tax revenue, OCTA is making significant reductions to bus service. All routes throughout the system may be affected.

OCTA will conduct public outreach for the March 2010 service reduction starting mid-September. You can find reference materials that will be used in developing the bus service change program. A detailed proposal for the service reductions will be posted online September 24.
