City of Santa Clarita Transit is a local bus service, administered by the City's transit division, that serves the City of Santa Clarita, California and nearby surrounding unincorporated areas. Daily operations and maintenance of the fleet are under contract with MV Transportation. City of Santa Clarita Transit local routes offers connecting services with Metro and Metrolink.
The County of Los Angeles contracts with City of Santa Clarita Transit to provide fixed route and Dial-A-Ride services in certain unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County that are adjacent to and/or nearby the city limits of Santa Clarita. Some of these areas include the unincorporated communities of Castaic, Stevenson Ranch, Sunset Pointe and Val Verde.
No other Los Angeles County transit agency provides service to, from or within the City of Santa Clarita.
The City of Santa Clarita assumed responsibility for local transit in 1991 from Los Angeles County, which had developed an embryonic transit network. A small City staff provides supervision over a contract operator. Over time, the local fixed route network and dial-a-ride service was expanded. Under City management, a number of new regional express services to various points in the San Fernando Valley, West Los Angeles, Antelope Valley, and downtown Los Angeles were added or improved.
In mid-2007 Santa Clarita Transit underwent a branding overhaul. The agency has been renamed "City of Santa Clarita Transit". Buses are in the process of receiving a new green and blue livery meant to reflect the colors of the city logo and new bus stop signs similar to the new bus livery have recently been installed. The livery debuted in August 2007 on 2 brand new 60-foot (18 m) articulated buses. Also receiving an overhaul are the city's bus stops through a $2-million dollar Bus Stop Improvement Program. This included replacing 51 Clear Channel advertising shelters, benches, and trash cans. In addition, 40 additional stops will receive new non-advertising shelters, as well as a number of stops receiving new non-advertisement benches. An element of public art will be added to approximately 15 bus stops. The program's purpose is threefold, bus stops will become more uniform in look and features, the advertisement on benches will be eliminated, and public art will have a large expansion. The overhauls are major parts of the city's efforts to make transit more attractive to citizens.
