Santa Clarita Transit has local rides and commuter routes

Santa Clarita is spread across valleys, canyon roads, shopping centers, schools, and commuter corridors. That makes transit a little different here than in a tight downtown city.

Santa Clarita Transit is the local bus system to know first. It covers travel around the Santa Clarita Valley and also points riders toward commuter service for longer weekday trips to nearby job centers and other cities.

The useful split is local versus commuter. A local ride might help with school, work, shopping, a medical visit, or a trip across town. A commuter route is more about getting out of the valley without driving the whole way yourself.

For a first ride, look up the route by where you are starting and where you need to end up, then check the time of day. Santa Clarita traffic can make timing feel very different between a quiet midday trip and a weekday commute.
