The City of Laguna Beach is pleased to announce that the wildly-popular weekend trolleys will now extend to the Ritz Carlton Dana Point, allowing service to the Three Arch Bay community.
Starting Friday April 3 2015, two additional trolleys will be on the road
(for a total of eight trolleys during periods of peak demand)
to help maintain service times between trolleys of approximately 15 – 20 minutes.
Trolley Hours of Operation:
Friday’s 4:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m
Saturday’s 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m
Sundays 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m
After only one month in operation and just in time for the holiday weekend, residents and visitors will now be able to ride a continuous loop along Coast Highway from Cajon Street in North Laguna to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dana Point.
The City is responding to requests to expand the service further south, consistent with the City’s Mainline buses and summer festival trolleys.
The response to the free trolley service has greatly exceeded expectations. In fact, in the first month of service, there were over 30,000 passenger boardings.
The City would like to thank Visit Laguna Beach, the Chamber of Commerce, local hotels and businesses for their promotional efforts, along with residents and visitors who helped make the first month a tremendous success!
The weekend service is funded primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Project V grant program.
The City’s grant funding is contingent on the expanded weekend service achieving minimum ridership goals, so it is imperative that residents and visitors continue to ride the free trolleys to ensure the long-term viability of the program.
