Beginning Sunday, August 1st, 2021, All routes that currently connect at the Lorene & 7th Transfer Center will be rerouted to the Victor Valley Transportation Center (VVTC) in Old Town Victorville. The VVTC has an enclosed building that has restrooms and vending space; and provides an ideal setup for the new Victorville transfer point. The following describes the affected routes, plus the new Route 56.
ROUTE 15
Route 15 will be slightly modified to utilize D Street to more directly access the VVTC. An additional northbound early morning Route 15 trip between Victorville and Barstow will be added on weekdays.
ROUTE 22
Route 22 will be shortened to terminate at the VVTC. Route 22 service will no longer operate along 7th Street through Victorville.
ROUTE 31
Route 31 will be extended to serve the VVTC. The realignment of Route 31 includes adding service along Amethyst Road, Hook Boulevard, and Roy Rogers Drive, while reducing service along Palmdale Road east of Amethyst Road. Some of the areas no longer served by Route 31 will be served by the new Route 56.
ROUTE 32
Route 32 will be rerouted to utilize Mojave Drive to more directly access the VVTC. The route will also serve portions of current Route 51 along Del Rey Drive, Forest Avenue, Condor Road, and Village Drive, providing bi-directional services along these street segments that have only one-way service today. Segments that will no longer be served by Route 32 will be served by new Route 56.
