This summer, North Lake Tahoe residents and visitors will have a new microtransit rideshare service available through Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors has authorized spending $465,000 to implement this new service as a pilot program this summer.
Jaime Wright, Placer County’s Transit Services Public Works manager, said the program is piggybacking off the free Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit system in order to continue the public effort to reduce seasonal traffic.
“We need to continue to enhance public service,” Wright said. “Whether it’s the summer or the winter, we’re challenged by a good amount of congestion. We need to reduce the vehicle miles traveled and the vehicles on the road.”
