Squaw-Alpine piloting transit option during holidays

This holiday season, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows will offer a pilot intra-valley transit program in partnership with the app-based transportation provider Chariot.

It will be available Dec. 23-Jan. 4.

Chariot’s mobile app will allow people to book rides for on-demand and fixed-route services within the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows neighborhoods, using new 14-passenger Ford Transit vehicles equipped with ski and snowboard racks.

Shuttles will pick up passengers along fixed 15-20 minute routes between 8-10am and 3-5pm. From 10am-3pm, Chariot will provide custom resort-to-doorstep rides within the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows neighborhoods, in addition to fixed routes. Resort-to-doorstep rides can be booked via Chariot’s mobile app.
