Getting around South Lake Tahoe is about to get way smoother, and the Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) wants you to help shape the future of local transit.

Imagine cruising between ski resorts, work, and your favorite lakeside hangouts without the usual transit headaches. The TTD is proposing some serious route changes that could make your daily commute or weekend adventure way more seamless.

Two Routes, Multiple Options

The proposed updates to Routes 50 and 55 aren’t just minor tweaks, they’re a potential game-changer for how locals and visitors move around the Tahoe basin. Two primary options are on the table: one featuring two buses on each route, and another with three buses on Route 50 and one on Route 55.

Why Should You Care?

These changes aren’t just bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo. We’re talking reduced wait times, better connections between key stops, and a transit system that actually understands how people really move around Tahoe. Whether you’re a local worker, weekend warrior, or just someone who hates parking nightmares, these proposed changes could be your transit salvation.

How to Make Your Voice Heard

The TTD isn’t just making decisions in a vacuum, they want your input. Community members can submit comments via email to planning@tahoetransportation.org before November 5, 2025. Want more details?
