News release
The city of Santa Clarita is introducing a new way to book local transit. Santa Clarita Connect brings together three ride services from Santa Clarita Transit – Go! Santa Clarita, Dial-A-Ride and Access Services – all into one mobile app.
Santa Clarita Connect makes it simple for riders to plan and manage trips, the city said in a news release. Whether scheduling a same-day Go! Santa Clarita ride or reserving a DAR or Access trip up to a week in advance, users can now do it all in one place.
The new app builds on the success of the current Transit On-Demand app and offers several key improvements, according to the release:
- Quicker Pickups – Enhanced dispatch technology gets vehicles to riders more quickly.
- More Rides – Smarter software keeps more of the fleet in motion, creating additional ride opportunities.
- More Services – The platform is designed to grow, with the ability to add future on-demand options.
New users can download the Santa Clarita Connect app from app stores and start booking trips. Existing Go! Santa Clarita passengers using Transit On-Demand will have their app updated automatically. To book DAR and Access trips, new eligible riders can register with Santa Clarita Transit to have these services appear within the app. Eligible riders previously registered can start booking DAR and Access trips right away.
When booking a ride, choose your preferred payment method in the app. Payment will be collected at boarding. Options include cash, a physical TAP card, the TAP mobile card app or Token Transit.
