See Map below, and How to Come Car Free. And visit us at the Air Pollution Control District/Car Free booth near the bike valet!
How to Come Car Free
View the online bike maps at www.trafficsolutions.info to plan your route, and find the bike valet near the corner of Anacapa and Micheltorena Streets in Alameda Park. There you'll find free bike parking sponsored by Bici Centro and the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition. As you enter the Park, check in with an Earth Day volunteer to register to win prizes for being car free. Then, stop by the Car Free booth, and enjoy the many offerings that are part of Bike World this year.
Take the Bus
MTD buses and shuttles stop near the Festival location at Alameda Park, and buses from all over the South Coast, including UCSB, Goleta and Carpinteria, stop at the MTD transit center, only five blocks away. See www.sbmtd.gov or call 963-3366 (answered by MTD staff weekdays 6am-7pm, Saturdays 8am-6pm or Sundays 9am-6pm) for routes and schedules.
Earth Day’s location makes it easy to get to without a car. Alameda Park is only a 30 or 40 minute walk from the Mesa, Upper State Street, or Milpas Street, and can be easily reached from lower downtown and the harbor either entirely on foot or with help from the MTD Downtown/Waterfront shuttle. So lace up your walking shoes and get some exercise while you make this a car-free day!
The South Coast Earth Day Festival is presented by the Community Environmental Council. We think of Santa Barbara as the birthplace of Earth Day. See the Earth Day website for more info, and to find out about all the events planned for the weeks before and the Festival Day!
