Ready to switch up your South Coast Metro commute? 🚌

Rideshare Week returns Oct. 5-9, encouraging Orange County commuters to leave the solo drive behind and try another way to get around.

This year, OCTA is inviting commuters to pledge to take OC Bus, Metrolink, vanpool, bike, or carpool at least once during the week for a chance to win a Commuter Essentials Kit valued at more than $300.

And there’s an extra reason to participate on Wednesday, Oct. 7: OC Bus and Metrolink rides will be FREE in recognition of California Clean Air Day! 🌱

Rideshare Week is a great opportunity to explore the transportation options connecting South Coast Metro with destinations throughout Orange County and beyond.

Cristo Rey Orange County High School officially opened its new permanent campus at SOCO Harbor and welcomed 278 students for the 2026–27 school year. https://heyor.ca/WH2wJs

The milestone is especially meaningful for Cristo Rey’s founding class. When they arrived as freshmen in 2023, they were promised a permanent campus before their senior year. Three years later, they’re beginning that senior year in a space built for them.

The new campus offers expanded classrooms and learning spaces, college and career resources, and dedicated facilities for Cristo Rey’s Corporate Work Study program, which gives every student real-world professional experience with Orange County employers.

We’re excited to welcome Cristo Rey Orange County to its new home in South Coast Metro and watch its first graduating class cross the stage in June 2027! 🎓
