OCTA Rings In The New Year With Free Bus Rides

OCTA plays designated driver for 11th year

ORANGE – The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is helping make end of the year celebrations safe and hassle-free by providing free bus rides between 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31 and 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1.

“We are pleased to once again give residents a convenient way to travel this New Year’s Eve,” said OCTA Vice Chairman Gregory Winterbottom. “We encourage those out celebrating to leave the driving to OCTA and enjoy a free ride on the bus.”

Last year, there were more than 16,000 free New Year’s Eve boardings and more than 120,000 boardings since the program began in 2002.

For more information on New Year’s Eve service and to check bus routes and schedules, visit OCTA’s website at www.octa.net or call (714) 636-7433.
