Valley Express to Offer Free Extended Service July 4

The Valley Express is offering a special free and extended service on Independence Day to help residents and travelers celebrate the holiday.

The Valley Express will run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will include all three service areas:  Santa Paula, Fillmore, and Piru.  Service will be free all day.  

The special holiday service will allow residents to travel between Piru and Fillmore for the Sespe Creek Car Show and the City of Fillmore fireworks show, and also to Harding Park in Santa Paula from designated parking lots for that City’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular event.

“We’re happy to provide this safe, reliable transportation option so people can focus on enjoying themselves during the holiday,” said Ginger Gherardi of the Santa Paula City Council. “The buses are free and timed to get people home after the big fireworks show.”

The special service schedules will be available online, onboard the buses, and at pass sales outlets, including the Santa Paula and Fillmore City Halls, MV Transportation Office and the VCTC office.
