Sunline Transit Agency
SunLine Transit Agency is a joint powers authority formed in 1977 to operate the Coachella Valley’s public transportation system. Its vehicles travel more than 21 million passenger miles per year, covering 556 bus stops located throughout a 1,120 mile-service area. SunLine offers fixed route bus service and curb-to-curb paratransit for the mobility impaired. Community Outreach Programs have impacted almost 6,000 people so far this year providing information and bus riding training to senior centers, senior housing, public schools, charitable organizations and corporate health fairs.

Nobody without a home or enough money for food should have to go hungry over the holidays, and if SunLine Transit Agency and participating grocers have their way, hundreds will avoid that unpleasant fate. The transportation agency is organizing its annual “Fill the Bus” Food Drive on November 20 – 21 to benefit The Well in the Desert. The state-of-the-art 40-foot hydrogen-fuel cell bus will be parked at four designated Coachella Valley grocery stores during the two dates, and is asking residents to bring their canned goods, toiletries and non-perishable food items to fill the bus. Once filled, the donated items will be bused directly to the Well in the Desert, the morning of November 24, in time for the holidays to help those in need. SunLine Transit Agency has served the Coachella Valley for over 30 years, providing safe, reliable, environmentally conscious public transportation. Helping those in need is one of the many ways the agency continues to serve the community.
