The Short Range North Coast Transit Plan covers the communities of Los Osos and Baywood Park, the City of Morro Bay (next to the Morro Bay State Park), the community of Cayucos, and to the north the Cambria community including the Hearst Castle Visitor’s Center (past San Simeon Acres). Areas to be examined by the study include:
Morro Bay and Los Osos: This will include an update to the 1999 Short-Range Transit plan for both the City of Morro Bay and Los Osos/Baywood park. These areas are served by a public Dial-a-Ride (DAR) service, generally used by seniors and children. The City of Morro Bay also operates a seasonal vintage trolleys for tourists and visitors.
Cambria Community: The study will also focus on the development of a new plan for the small coastal community of Cambria. Cambria is served by one year-round vintage trolley for tourists and visitors, plus a senior van for local seniors/disabled.
Regional bus service: Regional buses operated by Regional Transit Authority (RTA) connect Cambria, Cayucos and Morro Bay with San Luis Obispo. RTA provides bus connections between South Bay and Morro Bay and limited express bus service between South Bay and San Luis Obispo (along LOVR).
Cayucos: the study will assess the potential for increased transit coverage in Cayucos, namely to supplement the limited coverage and low frequency of RTA buses.
Other trips: The assessment of potential unmet needs will also be looked into, including senior options, recreational trips by tourists and visitors, and other suggestions from the study team.
