TART CONNECT’S MICROTRANSIT SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE TRUCKEE AREA HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JUNE 30, 2024. SEE BELOW FOR SEASONAL SCHEDULE AND OPERATING HOURS.
The Truckee TART Connect Pilot Program is a service that aims to meet more transit needs, especially for those seeking to travel to and from residential areas without using their cars. Avoid the costs of downtown parking and enjoy safe nights out on the town with better experiences and reduced congestion for both residents and visitors.
TART Connect users can download the TART Connect app and enjoy the free service in and around the Truckee area. The application is like other ride-sharing applications offered by transportation network companies but free of charge to the rider. Vehicles will have wheelchair accessibility and ski and snowboard racks and permit service animals and well-behaved dogs on leashes to ride.
The TART Connect app is available on both iOS and Android. For more information about this program and regional transportation services, visit TahoeTruckeeTransit.com.
