Look for these Trolley Signs to identify the stops along the route:
Riders will be able to access real-time trolley locations and wait times on their phones with the use of a website tracker at dptrolley.
This year limits the shuttle to weekend-only service, with hopes that this year’s success
will support a summer long, seven day a week service in 2016.
During the initial year, leased shuttles will be colorfully wrapped to look like “Woodys” to help attract customers.
In order for the City to retain OCTA grant funds to operate the trolleys, each trolley must attain at least 10 boardings per hour.
This equates to about 500 boardings per day.
Assuming a successful initial year, the trolley provider will purchase new open air trolleys for summer long service thereafter.
So we need everyone’s help to make this first year successful!
