STATELINE, Nev. — The Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) announced upcoming service changes to Routes 50 and 55 that will take effect January 4, 2026. These adjustments are designed to improve route efficiency, enhance service reliability, and better coordinate connections for riders throughout the South Shore.

“These service changes reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a transit system that is dependable, well-coordinated, and responsive to the needs of riders throughout the South Shore,” said Jim Marino, Executive Director of the Tahoe Transportation District. “Community feedback has been essential, and we look forward to delivering service enhancements that improve reliability, strengthen connections, and support seamless travel.” 

ROUTE 50 UPDATES

Route 50 will operate under revised patterns for both the westbound and eastbound trips. Eastbound service will now terminate at the Kingsbury Transit Center (KTC), with the Stateline Transit Center serving as a key transfer point for riders connecting to/from Route 55. A scheduled layover will occur at KTC.

Westbound service will originate at KTC and will no longer serve the US50/Bigler stop, nor will it serve the Stateline Transit Center (STC). Passengers needing a westbound connection near STC should board at the US 50/Stateline Ave (Caesar’s) stop.

Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) will now be served by Route 50 in both directions. Westbound trips will bypass the Y Transit Center, complete the D Street loop, and then pull into the Y Transit Center for a scheduled layover.

ROUTE 55 UPDATES

Eastbound service for Route 55 will begin at Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) and end at the Stateline Transit Center (STC), where a layover will take place and riders can transfer to Route 50 eastbound to Kingsbury Transit Center (KTC).

Westbound service will start at the STC and conclude at LTCC, with a scheduled layover at LTCC, where riders can connect to Route 50 to continue westbound to the Y Transit Center. 

Note: Route stops between LTCC and STC will not be altered. These adjustments are intended to strengthen service coordination with Route 50 and improve overall system reliability.
