The Emerald Bay Shuttle pilot project successfully reduced traffic and improved safety along the SR-89 corridor. - Over 5,000 riders used the shuttle in its first season, removing more than 1,000 cars from the road.
- CHP issued nearly 300 citations and towed 10 illegally parked vehicles. - The 2026 season has secured $1.2 million in grants for expanded service, including more shuttles and barricades.
- Informal stops at Camp Richardson aim to increase ridership to a capacity of 30,000 people. The second season builds on lessons learned, with a focus on better communication and filling buses to capacity.
