Planning

Designing transit service in Ventura County provides challenges that are unique to us, due to the mixture of rural and urban areas and the diverse needs of our community. Before making changes, we analyze ridership data, on-board passenger surveys, public and employee input and county-wide demographic data to design quality bus service. Additionally, GCTD partners with the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), as well as the local jurisdictions to provide transit services to the community.

Bus Stop Improvement Plan

GCTD’s Bus Stop Improvement Plan aims to improve the quality of bus stops throughout GCTD’s service area. The plan provides recommendations to improve the safety, accessibility and comfort at the bus stops we serve.

Bus Stop Improvement Plan
Bus Stop Balancing & Consolidation

Bus stop consolidation makes trips faster for passengers by reducing the amount of stops on a route and balances spacing. It can reduce maintenance costs which can be redirected for improvements. A trade off may be longer walking distances between stops.

Purpose And Benefits
- Fewer stops allow faster and more consistent travel time.
- Resources and amenities (shelters, etc.) can be directed to high demand stops.
- More even and balanced spacing between stops.
Where & When To Apply
- Recommended on streets with eight or more stops per mile.
- For routes with a high number of stops and a large number of riders.
- In high density, walkable corridors with many destinations.
