All C-TRAN routes will be free starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 31, and continuing until the end of service
If you’re heading out for New Year’s Eve this year, let C-TRAN do the driving. C-TRAN is offering free service across its entire system to help you start 2025 safely.
All C-TRAN routes will be free starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 31, and continuing until the end of service. Several routes will also be extended into the early hours of Wednesday, January 1. Routes 34, 48, 60, 65, 71, 80, The Vine on Fourth Plain and The Vine on Mill Plain will run until about 2 a.m. or later. Full New Year’s Eve schedules are available at www.c-tran.com/newyears.
C-TRAN urges anyone traveling to a New Year’s Eve celebration to be safe, plan ahead and make transit part of your evening instead of getting behind the wheel. Impaired driving contributes to thousands of deaths in the United States every year, and many of those occur during the holiday season and New Year’s Eve. Consider using transit even if you’re not staying out until midnight. If you’re celebrating in Portland, TriMet and the Portland Streetcar are providing free service after 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Most MAX lines will also operate on extended hours.
C-TRAN is proud to again partner with sponsors People’s Community Credit Union, the Port of Vancouver, ilani and the Washington State Department of Transportation to offer free New Year’s Eve service this year.
For routes without extended hours, buses will operate on regular weekday schedules on December 31. Extended-hour route schedules vary. Use the Transit app to plan your trip and get real-time arrival information, or call Customer Service at (360) 695-0123.
