Holiday Shopping This Weekend? Take Metrolink Weekend

Avoid holiday traffic and parking hassles. Hop aboard a comfortable Metrolink train this weekend and ride to the Irvine Station. From there the free OCTA shuttle will take you to the Irvine Spectrum Center. You can shop, have dinner and then visit the "Holiday on Ice" Skating Rink and Santa’s Holiday Getaway while you’re there.

Passes Make Great Holiday Gifts

Each year, OCTA buses carry more than 1 million passengers. An OCTA bus pass makes a great gift for the people on your gift list who ride the bus regularly. Choose from 7- 15- and 30-Day passes, or a 10-Pack of ten prepaid one-day passes. You can buy passes online and at more than 100 pass vendor locations around Orange County. For a list of current pass vendors, visit our pass sales section.

A Special Gift for SR-22 Carpoolers 

Spread good cheer and the word that carpools using the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) can enter or exit the carpool lanes at any point. Known as Continuous Access Carpool Lanes, these lanes give carpoolers more time to safely access the carpool lanes and greater freedom to safely exit at any point. OCTA is working with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to bring continuous access carpool lanes to more Orange County freeways. Learn more at www.octa.net.
