VVTA Expands Micro-Link Service with New Zones and Mobile App!

Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) is excited to announce the expansion of its Micro-Link service, set to launch Monday, October 28th with a brand-new zone in Apple Valley. This latest addition aims to provide even greater access to residents across the High Desert.

In addition to the new Apple Valley Micro-Link Zone, the service areas in both Hesperia and Victorville have also been expanded. Victorville riders can now enjoy the convenience of using Micro-Link to reach key destinations such as the Walmart Supercenter on Amargosa Road and the bustling Restaurant Row, home to a variety of eateries and businesses.

But that’s not all—VVTA is introducing a brand-new mobile app, “VVTA AccessLink,” making it easier than ever to book both Micro-Link rides and Direct Access ADA services. Available for both Apple and Android devices, the app promises a smoother, more efficient booking experience for all passengers.

Finally, to kick-off Micro-Link in Apple Valley, all Apple Valley Micro-Link Trips will be FARE FREE Monday, October 28th – Friday, November 1st.

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.
