We're driven to give.

While planning gifts for the ones you love, you may be thinking about giving back to our great community, too. Here is a list of some local and transit-accessible toy, food and coat drives.

Rain is expected this week. Bring your umbrella, and remember: Limit your umbrella size to fit in your bag and on a crowded street. Angle the top of the umbrella towards the wind. Before boarding the bus, shake and close your umbrella. Don't put it on a bus seat.

Here are some local events where you can experience the bright colors of papel picado and calaveras, the sound of mariachi music, the aroma of marigolds, and the sweet taste of champurrado. www.foothilltransit.org/articles/day...

We're shaking out with the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill at 10:16AM on 10/16.

During the drill, turn away from the windows towards the aisles, and put your arms over your head for protection. This is what would happen in a real earthquake.

Aisle or window, front or back… what’s your favorite place to sit on the bus?

It's #NationalCoffeeDay! If you bring your favorite brew on board, it needs to be in a spill-proof cup with a screw-on lid. So as much as we love this one-of-a-kind tumbler celebrating the start of the Silver Streak, it doesn't have a screw-on lid, so it doesn't go on the bus.

Our buses can’t take you to the moon, but they can definitely get you to a mooncake or three. Check this out for where to find them: www.foothilltransit.org/articles/whe...
