gO’side Free EV Shuttle Pilot Program
Getting around Downtown Oceanside is much easier with gO’side, a new electric vehicle shuttle pilot program. The City of Oceanside contracted with Circuit to run the pilot program using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. This service provides Oceanside residents, downtown workers, and visitors a safe, efficient transportation option to get around downtown. The shuttle service area covers from Oceanside Harbor south, to Vista Way in the area west of Interstate 5. The
shuttle runs daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Shuttles can be hailed via the “Ride Circuit” smartphone app, choosing “Oceanside” as the location or flagging down the shuttle in an area safe to stop for passengers to board. The service will be free initially; however, based on ridership, a nominal fare may be initiated at a later date. The pilot program is scheduled to run through November 2022.
