July 5, 2026 Service Changes

VVTA regularly evaluates and updates its services to better meet the needs of the communities we serve. As the Victor Valley and Barstow regions continue to grow and evolve, transit service must adapt to connect riders with the destinations that matter most.

These service improvements are designed to provide more efficient, reliable, and convenient transportation options by aligning routes with current travel patterns and areas of greatest demand. Our goal is to enhance the rider experience by creating stronger connections to popular destinations, improving route performance, and ensuring transit remains a practical and valuable transportation choice for our communities.

Beginning Sunday, July 5, VVTA will introduce several service improvements designed to provide more convenient connections and reliable service for our riders.

NEW: Route 15X Express Service to CSUSB

Students and commuters traveling between the High Desert and California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) now have a faster option.

The new Route 15X provides direct service between the Victor Valley Transportation Center (VVTC) and CSUSB, without continuing through San Bernardino or Fontana. This means less travel time and a more convenient trip to campus.

Weekday Schedule

+ Depart VVTC: 9:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
+ Depart CSUSB: 10:50 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Route 27 Updates

Route 27 has been adjusted to better serve the Barstow community.

Recent improvements include:
+ New service to Barstow Church of God in Christ with a new bus stop on Sage Drive.
+ Schedule adjustments to improve on-time performance
+ New time point stop added at Montara Road and Armory Road

Route 31 Wellness Center Shuttle

Getting to and from Wellness Center is now easier.

Route 31 will continue beyond the Victor Valley Transportation Center (VVTC) to provide shuttle service to the Victorville Wellness Center. After arriving at VVTC, the bus will travel to the Wellness Center and return to VVTC, allowing riders to conveniently connect with other VVTA routes.

This service is now a permanent feature on most trips and operates 7 days a week.

---

Route 114 Schedule Adjustments

To improve service reliability, weekday morning departure times on Route 114 have been adjusted. Weekday morning trips will be adjusted to depart Bear Valley Park and Ride at 4:32 am & 5:33 am, VVTC will depart at 4:44 am & 5:45 am.

It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to VVTA’s beloved Shelly Cable. Shelly has been one of this organization’s pillars since her first role as a coach operator. She loved this company deeply and held VVTA and each one of its employees in a special place in her heart. Even through the challenging medical conditions she faced over the past several months, she remained committed to VVTA’s best interests. Her determination to continue in her role, together with her courageous and fighting spirit, inspired so many of us, especially those who knew about the battle she was facing.

Many of us were fortunate to see and speak with her over the past few days. Even in her moments of pain, she continued to hold VVTA close, discussing work and what still needed to be done. Her dedication never wavered.

As we take a moment to reflect on the remarkable person she was, we recognize how deeply she touched the lives of so many, not only within VVTA’s extended family, but also among other business partners who had the privilege of working with her. Some saw Shelly as a dear colleague, loving and caring friend, sister or even a mother figure. 

On behalf of VVTA, we extend our sincere condolences to her family, knowing that her spirit is now at peace and free from pain.

With deepest condolences to all who loved her,

Nancie Goff
Chief Executive Officer
Victor Valley Transit Authority

At its recent Board of Directors meeting, the Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) proudly recognized Diane Euker for her extraordinary efforts in support of Transit Employee Appreciation Day and her ongoing encouragement of VVTA staff.

Diane, a regular rider, has become known throughout the agency as its “(un)Official Senior Transit Advocate.” Her connection to VVTA runs deep, as she often shares how access to transit has enriched her life, allowing her to stay active, engaged, and connected to the community.

In celebration of Transit Employee Appreciation Day, Diane went above and beyond by assembling more than 100 “T.E.A.” (Transit Employee Appreciation) packs for VVTA employees. Each bag, filled with tea and cookies, was personally prepared as a gesture of gratitude for the bus operators and support staff who keep the system running every day.

In addition to this effort, Diane is well known among staff for creating and distributing her handmade “Gold Stars,” recognizing operators for their service and care.

To honor her contributions, the VVTA Board presented Diane with a certificate of recognition and a custom t-shirt designating her as the agency’s “(un)Official Senior Transit Advocate.”

“Diane reminds us that public transportation is more than just a service, it’s a lifeline and a connection to community,” said VVTA leadership. “Her kindness and appreciation uplift our entire team.”

VVTA extends its sincere thanks to Diane for her continued support and for embodying the spirit of Transit Employee Appreciation Day.
