Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority operates the City of Irvine iShuttle service through a cooperative agreement funded by the City of Irvine. The service requires 24 buses, 12 of which have exceeded their federally-defined useful life. A request for quotes has been developed to purchase replacement buses through the California Association for Coordinated Transportation/Morongo Basin Transit Authority Purchasing Cooperative.
