2025 Routes 50 & 55 Survey The Tahoe Transportation District is considering changes to Routes 50 and 55 to improve reliability (timing), ridership, and frequency (how often the bus comes). Both options would help by reducing the overlap of Routes 50 and 55 west of Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC). There are two options being analyzed:Option 2/2: Two Buses on Route 50 & Two Buses on Route 55 Route 55 would operate only between LTCC and Kingsbury Transit Center. Riders traveling west of LTCC would transfer to Route 50. Route 50 would continue to operate between the Y Transit Center and Stateline Transit Center, PLUS Route 50 would extend to cover the D Street loop and enter LTCC westbound and eastbound. Two buses would operate on Route 55, increasing frequency to every 30 minutes. Two buses would operate on Route 50, maintaining frequency at every 30 minutes. Option 3/1: Three Buses on Route 50 & One Bus on Route 55 Route 55 would operate only between LTCC and Stateline Transit Center. Riders traveling west of LTCC would transfer to Route 50. Riders traveling east of Stateline Transit Center, would have to transfer Route 50. Bally’s/Tahoe Blue Events Center (#4271) would no longer be served by Route 55. Riders traveling eastbound from Stateline Transit Center would transfer to Route 50. Route 50 would extend to cover the D Street loop, enter LTCC westbound and eastbound, and continue to Kingsbury Transit Center. Route 50 would continue to serve most stops between LTCC and the Y Transit Center. One bus would operate on Route 55, maintaining frequency at every 60 minutes. Three buses would operate on Route 50, maintaining frequency every 30 minutes. Please take a few moments to provide your opinion on these options and share your experiences riding TTD. Thank you!
