Kanan Shuttle Service Launches, Offers Alternative to Driving

A new free shuttle connecting Agoura Hills and Oak Park launched this month.

The service, which is part of a partnership with the Ventura County Public Works, began in early August. 

The shuttle service operates Mondays through Fridays between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., every 15 minutes during peak hours around school drop-off and pick-up times, and every 30 minutes the rest of the day.

The new Kanan shuttle system seats 24 people per bus, is handicapped-accessible, features bicycle racks and will transport riders along a 14-stop route that begins at the 101 Freeway and Kanan Road, and will travel along Kanan Road for easy access to schools, parks and shopping. 

“The Kanan Shuttle is economic and environmentally friendly, reducing traffic, air pollution and travel costs,” said Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks, who encourages people to “give it a test drive.”

This is the first public bus service in Ventura County that offers 15-minute headways, making it a convenient and reliable alternative to driving. The new service will enhance current transportation service Dial-A-Ride (DAR), which has been operated by the City of Agoura Hills since 1985. DAR services will continue for elderly and disabled persons.
