Sources & review · September 24, 2026

Metro stops and route associations were matched to active trips in the official Metro bus schedule feed for September 24–28, 2026. Nearby stops do not establish an accessible walking route, a direct trip or a live arrival. The schedule feed covers June 7–December 12, 2026; later trips need a refreshed check.

Parking details come from the operator sources attached to each entry. Prices and hours may change; a listing is not a reservation. Regional routes use Santa Clarita Transit’s March 2026 schedule. Campus distances use LASD’s 2026 visitor-bus map; check-in guidance uses LASD IVVS and its linked facility procedures.
