The largest environmental challenge at Lake Tahoe is transportation. Vehicles pollute air and create sediments that cloud the water, plus kill countless forest animals each year. Therefore transit to Expo activities is part of this years showcase, starting with what we have: TART, BlueGo, Nifty Fifty public buses, your bike, and what we were able to purchase from contributions; 5 free shuttles running from 2pm to 8pm, plus 1 water taxi running from 8am to 3pm (special for Expo participants this day only).
In upcoming years, the TahoeExpo seeks to offer biodiesel buses and green watercraft, and options to park outside the Tahoe basin, shuttling you into the area, and back. Sept 10th and Sept 11th as a courtesy to the 2,000 bike riders we ask you please bike or take transit. Use your actions to benefit the lake… while having fun.
BlueGo and Nifty Fifty bus line runs in the south and southwest, between Tahoma and Kingsbury Transit. BlueGo all-day pass $6.00 more infohttp://www.bluego.org/services.aspx?panel=bus (530) 541-7149
All-Day Pass on either bus line transfers to the other bus system. Check the INTERARY page for transit times and locations. You can also ride your bike to many of the activities and /or take your bike on the bus for areas where there is no bike lane.
