Ride For Free On The Mission Viejo Shuttle: What To Know

Press release from the City of Mission Viejo:

August 14, 2025

You can enjoy much of what Mission Viejo offers without the high cost of gas or driving hassles.

From the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Metrolink train station to Lake Mission Viejo and many places in between, the MV Shuttle gets you where you want to go for FREE. Take advantage of this convenient shuttle service to reach The Shops at Mission Viejo, Mission Hospital, Saddleback College, Capistrano Valley High School, the Norman P. Murray Community Center, City Hall/Library, YMCA/Marguerite Aquatics/Tennis Pavilion, and other locations. The shuttle is perfect for everyone – from businesspeople, students and seniors to volunteers and others looking for a free and convenient way to get around town.

In addition, there is also roundtrip service for Mission Viejo High School (called the Tripper Route), which follows a special school route before returning to regular service at City Hall/Library.

Shuttles run regularly from about 6:30 am to 7 pm Monday through Friday (except holidays) from August 19 to June 5. MV Shuttle stops are marked with colorful signs.

The MV Shuttle provides Mission Viejo residents with a beneficial transportation alternative. The shuttles are smaller than typical transit buses and run on compressed natural gas (CNG), producing far fewer emissions than conventionally powered vehicles.
