About GCT

Gold Coast Transit is a Joint Powers Agency created by the Cities of Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura and the County of Ventura to provide public bus and paratransit service in 91 square miles of western Ventura County. GCT is governed by a Board of Directors which appoints a general manager to implement Board policies and manage the organization and its transit operations.

The Board of Directors is made up of one elected official representing each of GCT’s five member governments.  Board meetings are open to the public and are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. in the GCT Offices at 301 E. Third Street, Oxnard. The August Board meeting is optional.

GCT directly operates 17 scheduled, fixed routes with a fleet of 48 large transit buses. ACCESS Paratransit Service is operated by a contractor with GCT’s fleet of 22 small buses and vans. ACCESS provides curb-to-curb service for people with disabilities and senior citizens who cannot use the fixed-route bus system. In 2007 GCT delivered more than 3.6 million trips to bus and paratransit riders.

GCT is committed to providing accessible and environmentally friendly transit service. All Gold Coast Transit buses and paratransit vehicles are accessible to wheelchairs and most other mobility aids, and all operate on clean Compressed Natural Gas.
