CAMARILLO, Calif. – The Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) will offer
additional Intercity bus service and roadside assistance to help visitors enjoy a smooth and easy
trip to X Games Ventura 2024 on June 28-30 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
VCTC strongly encourages people heading to the X Games to use public transit, walk, bike or
carpool to the event. Public transit options include VCTC Intercity and Gold Coast Transit
District bus service, as well as Amtrak Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink rail service. For those who
must drive, VCTC’s Freeway Service Patrol will provide roadside assistance along a segment of
Highway 101 in Ventura.

VCTC Executive Director Martin Erickson said the X Games and similar community events
provide an opportunity for people to explore public transit options in Ventura County.
“People can take the bus or train, or both, to travel to the X Games and at the same time learn
how public transit can help them reach destinations in their everyday travel,” Erickson said.
More information about the travel options is available at goventura.org/xgames.

VCTC INTERCITY BUS SERVICE

VCTC’s Intercity bus service provides transportation throughout Ventura County, to Santa
Barbara and to Woodland Hills. Travelers to the X Games can use Highway 101, Highway 126
and Coastal Express routes to get to the fairgrounds.

The Highway 101 and 126 routes will be extended to Thompson Boulevard and Figueroa Street
in Ventura. The Coastal Express route will stop at Thompson and Figueroa instead of Santa
Clara and Oak streets. The Highway 101 route, which normally operates Monday to Saturday,
will be extended to Sunday for the X Games. More information is available at
goventura.org/xgames.

Information about fares is available at https://www.goventura.org/vctc-transit/fares-passes/.
Riders are encouraged to use VCbuspass, a contactless regional transit pass that is accepted
by all public transit operators in Ventura County. To get a pass, download the Umo Mobility app
on an Apple or Android phone. VCbuspass cards can also be purchased at
goventura.org/vcbuspass or by calling VCTC’s Regional Transit Information Center in advance
of the X Games at 800-438-1112.

VCTC buses are specially equipped with spaces to store bicycles. Most buses have either frontmounted bicycle racks and undercarriage compartments. E-bikes are allowed.

All VCTC buses are ADA-accessible and are equipped with lifts to assist riders who use
wheelchairs or have limited mobility.

FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL

To assist motorists, VCTC will temporarily extend its Freeway Service Patrol to a segment of
U.S. 101, from Johnson Drive to California Street, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 29 and 30.
The FSP program places roaming tow trucks along freeways with the goal of quickly getting
disabled vehicles moving again at no cost to the motorists. Drivers provide such services as
changing flat tires, providing a gallon of fuel and taping leaky hoses.

The program aims to reduce congestion and prevent secondary accidents. FSP trucks currently
operate along three segments of Ventura County highways during peak traffic periods Monday
through Friday.
