Hollywood Sun Shuttle Resumes Service Limited To Essential Travel Only

Many residents depend on the free Sun Shuttle service to meet their transportation needs. Beginning today, Wednesday, March 25th, the Sun Shuttle will resume daily service to provide rides to and from essential service locations only. Locations include grocery stores, pharmacies, medical offices or banking institutions located in the downtown Hollywood or barrier island service areas.

For the safety and security of the driver and general public, DO NOT request a ride if you have a fever, are feeling ill, or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19. Sun Shuttle staff have implemented additional cleaning measures and have disabled the ride-sharing features. The Sun Shuttle will operate Monday - Friday from 7am - 8pm and on Saturday & Sunday from 8am - 8pm. This schedule is subject to change. Download the "Ride Circuit" App from the App Store or Google Play to request a free ride in Hollywood. For more information on the Hollywood Sun Shuttle, please visit the City's website.
