More than half of the users of the North Shore microtransit are local, and Feldman hopes to see a similar pattern on the South Shore. “The Events Center is not required to provide microtransit until 2023, but the concept has gained momentum with the South Shore Transportation Management Association and other private/public partners to get after it this year,” said Carol Chaplin, TDVA president and chief executive officer said in an email. The microtransit has been an effort of Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority and they would like to see the service running yearlong sooner. During the fourth and fifth years, they’ll add in winter service and by the sixth year, it will run year round. The service will initially run during the summer for the first three years of operation. The service will be available from the the Al Tahoe area, near Lake Tahoe Community College, through the casino corridor. If guests are staying outside of the casino corridor, they can utilize that service and not worry about parking their car at all. Riders can request a ride from an app and the van will pick them up and take them to their destinations.

The free service is similar to the service currently in place on the North Shore.

The microtransit is a complementary strategy to paid parking. “We’ve done exhaustive analysis of the impacts of both transit and paid parking as part of environmental assessment that was done during the approval process for the events center and the traffic engineers and experts forecast that the combination of those strategies would mitigate the trip generation that would’ve otherwise occurred in the absence of paid parking and microtransit,” Feldman said.įeldman continued to say that analysis has proven that people are much more likely to park once and not move their cars if they are required to pay for parking.
