2.8 Transit Routes

Figure 2-5 depicts the transit service in the City provided by Los Angeles Metro, Norwalk Transit System (NTS), and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Local bus routes provide service along Pioneer Boulevard, 183rd Street, and South Street.

There are no existing passenger rail lines through the City of Artesia. However, the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor will bring a light rail transit stop to the City in the near future. This 19-mile corridor project will connect Artesia residents to Downtown Los Angeles when fully implemented.

There are 20 bus stops in Artesia. These routes and stops were identified to ensure improving access to them was integrated into the plan as major destinations and as part of First Mile-Last Mile planning principles. Approximately 0.8 percent of workers in Artesia use public transit as their primary mode of transportation. Artesia City Transit

The Artesia City Transit is the City’s newest local bus system. The service is designed as a continuous loop that is operated by an all-electric bus. The bus service is free to residents to encourage people to reach their local destinations in a more sustainable manner.
