County Connection cautions riders to expect service delays on Friday, March 3, 2017 along bus routes in the Walnut Creek and Concord corridors, due to the funeral service for Alameda County Sheriff Deputy Michael Foley.  The service will take place at the Concord Pavilion beginning at 11:00 AM.

Traffic will once again be impacted at the end of the service as those attending depart. It is not known at this time if traffic control measures will be in place.

If traffic is impacted to the degree that buses are not moving, or moving very slowly, the real time arrival predictions offered through the web based Bus Tracker, and the mobile  TransitApp will simply report “delayed”.

Any updates will be posted as they develop on the website, www.cccta.wpengine.com, Facebook and Twitter.

We thank everyone for your patience during this event.

Changes will be made to the schedules of three bus routes with the spring service period that begins Sunday, February 26. Increasing traffic and extended road construction projects make it difficult to maintain schedules on major corridors and compromise connections with other service providers.

Changes include:

• Route 35 – the 3:03 PM trip leaving Dublin/Pleasanton will shift to leave at 3:14 PM
• Route 92X – the schedule is rewritten. View the time table here 92X-timetable
• Route 93X – the schedule is rewritten. View the time table here 93x-timetable

County Connection buses will run REGULAR WEEKDAY service on President’s Day, Monday, February 20, 2017.

EBMUD Pipeline Replacement Project – Upper Happy Valley in Lafayette

Construction began in January 2017 and will continue through May on Upper Happy Valley Road and paving will follow in the summer. Work hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Traffic control will be in place, but expect ten minute delays when entering and leaving the work area.

8:00 AM – Bus Tracker back up and running.

 

We’re experiencing technical problems with Bus Tracker. The information you receive is scheduled arrival time – not real time. Buses are not visible in Map mode. This is affecting the transit app as well. We’re working on this now and hope to have this resolved quickly. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In December County Connection bus riders reduced CO2 emissions by 25,369 pounds EACH WEEKDAY. That’s really impressive!

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 4.35 pounds. So, by riding just one day a week you can make a difference.

Real time options such as the on-line trip planner, Bus Tracker  the free transit app, Clipper, and free Wi-Fi on all buses make using the bus more convenient and predictable. Check out these amenities today!

County Connection has a tentative detour prepared for the Route 4 buses in the event that the Women’s March blocks traffic, or if Civic, Locust & S Main are impassable. The march is expected to take place around noon on Saturday, January 21st.
