Free Shuttle to Walnut Creek BART
Posted on Jul 28th, 2022 Comments (0)
Did you know Alamo Creek residents have access to a free neighborhood shuttle?
 
Property owners in Alamo Creek pay a traffic mitigation fee through their property taxes to fund transit service.  The fee was established by the County as a condition of development.  County Connection operates the Alamo Creek Shuttle on behalf of the County – which runs between Alamo Creek and the Walnut Creek BART station.  The service is fully funded by the fees collected by the property owners, and free to the residents.
 
The advance reservation service operates Monday through Friday during commute periods, making three AM and three PM trips. Shuttles will stop at the Danville Park ‘n Ride on request, and may stop within the corridor along Camino Tassajara and I-680 if time permits.
 
In the morning the shuttle leaves the area at 6:30, 8:00, and 9:30 AM – arriving at BART at 7:00, 8:30, and 10:00 AM. In the afternoon/evening, shuttles leave Walnut Creek BART at 3:00, 4:30, and 6:00 PM – returning to the service area at 3:30, 5:00, and 6:30 PM.
 
The service is free to riders traveling to or from the service area which is defined as Alamo Creek.  Reservations can be made by calling 925-943-1829.

Ride the TRAFFIX bus to Monte Vista!
Posted on Jul 28th, 2022
TRAFFIX is a traffic congestion relief program funded by Measure J, the 1/2 cent sales tax approved by Contra Costa voters in 2004. Its sole purpose is to reduce traffic congestion caused by parents driving their children to and from school through some of San Ramon Valley’s most congested intersections.
 
TRAFFIX began service in August 2009 with a fleet of new clean-burning buses with state-of-the-art safety features. To encourage parents to stop driving their kids to school, TRAFFIX provides this service at a fraction of the cost of other school bus programs – only $475 for an entire school year for each student.
 
In 2012, TRAFFIX added bus routes and service for Monte Vista High School in Danville and California High School in San Ramon.  Two additional buses were added to the Monte Vista fleet, serving CSA T-1 residents at Alamo Creek and Monterosso in 2014 and 2017 and a third CSA T-1 bus in 2019. With assistance from CSA T-1, TRAFFIX now has three 56-seat buses (MV-19, MV-19A and MV19B).
 
Homeowners within the CSA T-1 communities cited above who attend Monte Vista High School are offered the first opportunity to purchase TRAFFIX Bus Passes for their students. More information can be found on the home page at http://rideTRAFFIX.com or on the attached flyer from Monte Vista High School
