New App: Santa Clarita Connect

 Transit On Demand is now Santa Clarita Connect!

Three services, now all in one convenient app!

 

Starting October 1, 2025, Go! Santa Clarita, Dial-a-Ride (DAR), and Access Services trips can all be booked within the new Santa Clarita Connect app! – One app for all Santa Clarita Transit demand-response services. Building off the success of our July 1st launch of the Transit On Demand app, which saw Go! Santa Clarita moved to our new turbo-charged app, we are excited to announce two additional services are being added!

 

To mark this exciting evolution, we have re-named Transit On Demand to Santa Clarita Connect!

 

By combining all three services in this one turbo-charged app, we will be able to leverage the app’s full capabilities and further enhance optimization for faster pickups, shorter waits, and increased ride availability. Available in the Apple and Android App stores.

 

 

 

Santa Clarita Connect App Improvements

 

  • Quicker Pickups – Our enhanced dispatch tech gets a vehicle to you faster than ever.

  • More Rides – Smarter software keeps more of our fleet in motion, putting extra vehicles on the street and extra ride slots at your fingertips.

  • More Services — Our new app is built to grow, with the ability to expand our services in the future.

Helpful Tips:

  • Tracking:
    • Once booked, real-time tracking of your vehicle becomes available when:
      1. Your ride is the next pickup in the queue, and
      2. Your ride’s estimated time of arrival is in the next ten minutes.
  •  Payments:
    • To pay for a ride, you can select your method of payment during the trip booking phase, and it will be collected at the time of your boarding.
    • The available payment options include cash, a physical TAP Card, the TAP Card mobile App, or Token Transit. There is a $.025 cent discount for Go! trips when using any payment method other than cash.
    • Please note: The payment method must be selected for each individual booking. Setting a default payment method is not currently available.
  • Deleting and Reactivating Your Account:
    • If you delete your account, you will need to call us at (661) 294-1BUS (1287) to have your account reactivated.
  • See the image below for the booking process within the app. The steps are the same for all three service types:
