Ojai, CA - The City is excited to announce that the Ojai Trolley will restore Sunday service beginning this Sunday, August 31. The return of the Sunday routes means the trolley will once again operate seven days a week, offering residents and visitors more opportunities to travel throughout the community.
City Manager Ben Harvey shared the news during Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, noting that the City has been working diligently with existing and new drivers to restore Sunday operations. To ensure coverage, the City has entered into a temporary contract with Fillmore Area Transit to provide Sunday drivers, and ensure route continuity in the event that a City driver is unavailable.
“This has been a long road, and we thank the community for their ongoing patience,” Harvey said. “We’re proud to bring Sunday service back and look forward to building rider morale and support for the Ojai Trolley.”
As part of efforts to celebrate and promote the service, the City will give away free “I love Ojai Trolley” t-shirts starting this week.
The City is also preparing a pilot proposal for the City Council’s consideration that would extend additional benefits to part-time trolley drivers. This item will be brought forward for discussion at a future Council meeting.
The Ojai Trolley provides affordable, convenient and sustainable transportation throughout Ojai with stops at local businesses, parks, neighborhoods and cultural attractions. For more information, visit OjaiTrolley.com or call City Hall at (805) 646-5581.
