Monterey-Salinas Transit

10/21/2026

Is a double decker part of the future for Monterey-Salinas Transit? Our leadership team checked one out in person at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Chicago.

No decisions yet, but we're excited to keep exploring. What do you think: would you ride a double-decker in Monterey County?

Great news! The new multi-use trail extension in Sand City is now open to the community!

This extension is part of the SURF! Project, which will extend the Beach Range Road for about a mile total.

The area is still under construction as we build the roundabout that buses will use to leave the busway safely and merge onto traffic.

To enter the new bike lane extension and continue on to Seaside and Marina, please use the bike lane at the end of Playa Avenue, next to HomeGoods.

Heads up, there's one more detour ahead, so State Parks can keep building the new campground.

Service animals are welcome on every MST bus. Here are some tips for riding successfully with your service animal:

- When boarding the bus, drivers may ask two questions: Is the animal required because of a disability? And what work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
- Service animals ride for free. Handlers must pay their fare.
- Service animals don’t need to be caged, but they must remain under the handler’s control at all times, either at their feet or on their lap, never on the seat!
- Service animals can’t act aggressively toward people or other animals, and they can’t distract other service animals from their tasks.
- If an animal’s behavior threatens the safety of the driver or other passengers, the team and animal may be asked to leave the bus.

Emotional support animals and pets must be caged to ride with their owners on buses.

Please note: knowingly misrepresenting a pet as a service animal is a misdemeanor under California law.

The most interesting thing about us is that we care a LOT about our community and we will keep finding ways to be there when you need us! 🤏🏼😌
