Fillmore Area transit

The Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District, with its focus on passenger service, provides a reliable, safe, comfortable means of mobility to those who lack other transportation, including students, the elderly and individuals with disabilities who have access to bus stops. It also provides an attractive transportation option for commuters and shoppers who may otherwise drive cars. A five-member board of directors governs the MTD. Two members are appointed by the Santa Barbara City Council, two by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, and a fifth member at large is appointed by the MTD Board of Directors. The Santa Barbara Metro Transit system currently has 27 transit routes and has 851 bus stops. It covers approximately 52 square miles in the southern area of Santa Barbara County and encompasses the communities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito, Summerland and Isla Vista.
