County Connection riders reduced CO2 emissions by 31,835 pounds EACH WEEKDAY in the month of April. Nice work!
Using County Connection’s average trip length (one way) of 5 miles, each person who leaves their car at home and uses the bus will reduce CO2 emissions by 4.6 pounds. Riding just one day a week will make a difference.
Real time options such as Bus Tracker and the free transit app, Clipper, and free Wi-Fi make using the bus more convenient and predictable. Check out these amenities today!
Meet JuanFor 15 years Juan has been providing top-notch service with a smile. He considers it his personal responsibility to make sure every passenger has a good experience on our bus. Juan has found that even the grumpiest of passengers, when greeted with a smile and with respect, leaves the bus with a “thank-you”.
Juan lives nearby, and loves his “non-commute”. In fact that’s probably why he has such a cheerful approach when dealing with his passengers. “I can’t get away with having a bad day or being grumpy with my passengers – I see them all time when I’m out shopping and running errands.” If happiness is contagious Juan is making sure it spreads far and wide.
County Connection was notified of school bell time changes taking place in May that will affect our service to the middle and high schools in the area.
