City of Lompoc Transit (COLT) will be offering free rides aboard its buses this Friday, March 29 as part of Try Transit Month.

The City of Lompoc wants the community to experience how convenient and affordable travel is on the city’s new fleet of COLT buses that started a year ago traveling routes through Lompoc, Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village. The seven new Chevrolet buses, which each have a seating capacity of 16, feature a colorful graphic design that pays tribute to our military members.

Also coming up on its one-year anniversary this April 2 is the Transit Transfer Center in Downtown Lompoc. The Transit Transfer Center, which opened on April 2, 2018, serves the COLT routes, as well as the Wine Country Express, the Clean Air Express and The Breeze Bus.

COLT provides service from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, as well as special night service to Hancock College’s Lompoc campus. COLT does not operate on Sundays or on legal holidays. Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) curb-to-curb service is available for persons with disabilities. Fare Saver monthly bus passes are available for purchase.
