Shuttles will run from six transit centers throughout the region throughout the fair’s 10-day run
Summer’s Best Party might just be Worth the Wait.
And C-TRAN is ready to take you there for free.
The Clark County Fair returns after a two-year absence beginning on Friday, and C-TRAN will be providing free shuttle service.
There are early bird special routes for Friday’s opening day, to bring folks to the fair for the traditional pancake breakfast. On other days, the shuttle services will begin at noon from six locations throughout Clark County.
In addition to the free shuttle service, those who ride the shuttle can receive a coupon for a $1 off admission to the fair.
Buses will take riders directly to the east entrance of the fairgrounds from six locations: Vancouver Mall, 99th Street Transit Center, Fisher’s Landing Transit Center, La Center Park and Ride, Ridgefield Park and Ride, and Battle Ground (on Fairgrounds Ave., east of the Battle Ground Community Center.)
For Friday morning, buses will be leaving at 8 a.m from Fisher’s Landing, the mall, and 99th Street; 8:30 a.m. from Battle Ground and La Center; and 8:40 a.m. from Ridgefield. All other days, the service will begin at noon. Return shuttles will run through 11 p.m. each day. For a more detailed schedule on shuttles, go to: www.c-tran.com/fair.
This service is provided by C-TRAN along with partners Peoples Community Credit Union, the Port of Vancouver, and ilani.
C-TRAN will have staff at its booth throughout the 10-day fair. Visitors are encouraged to stop by for special giveaways and information. It has been three years since the last Clark County Fair. The government’s reaction to the pandemic led to the cancellation of the fair in 2020 and 2021. This year’s theme of the fair: Worth the Wait.
