Transportation The 955

The TRANSLOC app for THE 955 is available in app stores.

TransLoc app
This is the app for The 955

The 955 is a free, reservation-based ride service for Westmont students offering transportation to off-campus sites not accessed by our shuttle service for rides to/from churches, appointments, internships, jobs, the airport and train station.

The shuttle should be your main means of transport to downtown, beaches, Vons, Trader Joe's - please use The 955 only for essential rides (e.g. jobs). You may find you'll wait quite a while for a ride when the requests are too many for the one driver we have at any given time...sometimes there might be two, but not often.

The 955 is a supplemental service to the shuttle with limited availabilities.

There are 2 SERVICES: "Weekdays" and "Weekends" for rides between Montecito and SBA/Fairview area.

HOLIDAY HOURS

  • THANKSGIVING:  8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. (ONLY) the Wednesday before, resuming Saturday or Sunday before classes begin (dependent on available drivers)

  • CHRISTMAS: service through 3:00 p.m. the Saturday after finals, resuming Saturday or Sunday before classes begin (dependent on available drivers)

  • SPRING BREAK: no service from Saturday before through Saturday after (dependent on available drivers)

  • EASTER: possible service on Good Friday and Easter Sunday (dependent on available drivers)

  • 4-DAY WEEKENDS: service as usual (dependent on available drivers)

The 955 Operating hours:  8:30 AM - 9:45 PM every day

We generally have 1 van and 1 driver at any time...we try our best to accommodate all requests!

HOW TO REQUEST A RIDE:

  • Download the TransLoc ride app, create your account with your Westmont login credentials. 
  • Requests should be made at least 1 day in advance. Or a couple hours in advance.
  • The driver will combine requests to efficiently accommodate multiple riders, so your pick-up time may not be exactly when you want it.

Be ready at your pick-up/drop-off location 5-10 minutes early. Drivers make every effort to arrive at your location “ON TIME” (which can be 10 minutes before or after the requested time). Traffic can make a huge difference on timing, especially between 2-5:30 PM!

The 955 drivers reserve the right to refuse service, particularly to those who are repeatedly late or have excessive no-shows or late cancellations.
