Planning

Designing transit service in Ventura County provides challenges that are unique to us, due to the mixture of rural and urban areas and the diverse needs of our community. Before making changes, we analyze ridership data, on-board passenger surveys, public and employee input and county-wide demographic data to design quality bus service.  Additionally, GCTD partners with the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), as well as the local jurisdictions to provide transit services to the community.  
  • Bus Stop Improvement Plan

    GCTD’s Bus Stop Improvement Plan aims to improve the quality of bus stops throughout GCTD’s service area. The plan provides recommendations to improve the safety, accessibility and comfort at the bus stops we serve.

  • Short Range Transit Plan

    A Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) is intended to provide the public with information about the Gold Coast Transit District’s (GCTD) transit services and operational needs.  The SRTP planning period is generally for five years, but may cover longer periods, typically seven to 10 years. The plan is based on a combination of extensive community input and an analysis of system performance and demographic data.  Through this process, the services, fleet needs, capital and operating costs. revenues, new services and projects are assessed, and recommendations are made. While this SRTP is financially constrained based on current funding levels, it also includes options for service expansion and operational improvements should additional funding become available.

    GCTD’s most recent SRTP was approved in December 2025 and covers the period of FY 2026 – FY 2030.

    Links to our current and previous SRTP are available below.
