OCTA Offers Free New Year’s Eve Bus Rides to Keep Orange Residents Safe

The Orange community will have a safe, free transportation option this New Year’s Eve as the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is offering complimentary bus rides after 6 p.m. on December 31 to help reduce impaired driving and make it easier for residents to enjoy celebrations without worrying about parking or alcohol-related issues. The free rides apply to local OCTA routes throughout the evening, providing an accessible way for families and friends to travel to parties, dinners, and gatherings across the region.

Officials emphasize that this initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance public safety during peak holiday travel times, offering a reliable alternative to driving for those ringing in the new year. By removing fare costs after 6 p.m., OCTA aims to encourage responsible celebration and give Orange residents peace of mind as they head into 2026.
