As of 2015, they had a fleet of 8, riders can enjoy a continuous loop from Cajon Street in North Laguna to the resort hotel.
In just four weeks since the service was launched, more people have climbed aboard the city’s free weekend trolleys than live in the seaside town.
The service’s popularity prompted city officials to seek out $515,000 through an OCTA grant for this year’s year-round off-season trolley service. The pilot program is paid for by a grant from Project V. The Orange County Transportation Authority program is funded by Measure M – a half-cent sales tax increase approved by voters in 2006 for transportation projects.
Trolleys cut down on traffic congestion created in part by the more than 6 million annual visitors to the beach community – with at least 93 percent driving into town on day trips from surrounding cities and counties.
In Dana Point, city officials will launch free trolleys in June.
The trolleys in Dana Point will meet up with the Laguna trolleys and run from the Ritz-Carlton to Palisades Road in Capistrano Beach, stopping at hotels, the Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach.
