County Connection

We’ve put forth our Alternative Service Plan if funding does not become available. These are just plans that help provide a roadmap to potentially make some difficult decisions in the future. Kyle breaks it down. More: countyconnection.com/altservicepl...

Like many Bay Area transit agencies, County Connection is facing a budget challenge. Our proposed Alternative Service Plan is not guaranteed; rather it provides a roadmap for reducing operating costs if additional funding does not become available. countyconnection.com/altservicepl...

Transit Month is coming to a close and with just a few days left in September, we’re so proud of all the riders logging their trips for the ride contest! Cool prizes ahead!

We’re out with the City of Pleasant Hill and the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano for Community Service Day. We’re trying to fill nine drum barrels with non-perishable, shelf-stable food! Great to see the people of PH show up for others! #donate #food #foodbank #bus #pleasanthill

🚌 All aboard! It’s All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day! 🎉 Today’s the perfect excuse to leave the car at home, hop on County Connection and see where transit can take you. It’s all part of Transit Month — so grab a friend, pick a destination and ride on! 🚍💨 www.ca.transitmonth.org/bay-area

County Connection was on hand at the Bike Family Fest 2026 to show off our bus—but more importantly, teaching cyclists how to load their bikes on the bus bike rack. Bussing and biking is a match made in transit heaven.

Another Ride-Along with Transit CEOs in the books! Take 14 transit leaders, 100+ transit riders, mix with timed transfers, and you’ve got yourself an epic trip across the Bay! Thanks to everyone who came out! #transitmonth #bayarea #transit #bus #transportation

Friday was our CEO Ride Along, part of Transit Month. ABC7 News was there to cover the journey that took us from AC Transit > BART > MUNI > CalTrain and back. Lots of Bay Area transit leaders and transit riders were along for the ride! abc7news.com/post/14-bay-...

Riding BART and @countyconnection.bsky.social to get to Contra Costa Mayors Conference in Moraga. The 6 bus serves many destinations in Orinda, Moraga, and Lafayette. Downside is it only runs every half hour and stops running at 8 pm. We need more funding to increase transit service!
