Route Refresh Coming October 6th!

Beginning Oct 6th, 2024 VVTA will have new and revised Bus Routes for our great High Desert Communities! As communities continue to grow, these service changes will enhance the VVTA network to improve performance of the service and to address the evolving needs in the Barstow and Victor Valley regions.

VVTA partnered with TMD (Transportation Management & Design, Inc.), to conduct a comprehensive review of our entire system network. Together, we engaged with a broad range of community members, including organization leaders, analyzed demographic growth, conducted passenger outreach through surveys and drop-in sessions at our Transfer Hubs, and held stakeholder meetings with cities, towns, and our dedicated bus operators.

We encourage you to explore our newly revised bus route maps below and discover how they can improve and benefit your daily commute with VVTA.

Rural transit was established by the FTA in 1979, and Rural Transit Day was created in 2019 to appreciate the unique needs of rural passengers and celebrate the hardworking transit agencies that meet their travel needs. Funded by the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance, rural transit agencies in California play a vital role in maintaining the quality of life of rural residents by connecting people to much-needed essential services, jobs, education, and healthcare. We honor these transit agency heroes by publicizing all their hard work, taking the pledge to show our commitment to rural transit, and spreading awareness of Rural Transit Day and the importance of rural transit in our community.
