We’re out with the City of Pleasant Hill and the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano for Community Service Day. We’re trying to fill nine drum barrels with non-perishable, shelf-stable food! Great to see the people of PH show up for others! #donate #food #foodbank #bus #pleasanthill

County Connection was on hand at the Bike Family Fest 2026 to show off our bus—but more importantly, teaching cyclists how to load their bikes on the bus bike rack. Bussing and biking is a match made in transit heaven.

Friday was our CEO Ride Along, part of Transit Month. ABC7 News was there to cover the journey that took us from AC Transit > BART > MUNI > CalTrain and back. Lots of Bay Area transit leaders and transit riders were along for the ride! abc7news.com/post/14-bay-...

Riding BART and @countyconnection.bsky.social to get to Contra Costa Mayors Conference in Moraga. The 6 bus serves many destinations in Orinda, Moraga, and Lafayette. Downside is it only runs every half hour and stops running at 8 pm. We need more funding to increase transit service!
