The City of Tehachapi has partnered up with Kern Transit to provide a curb-to-curb transit service for Tehachapi and Golden Hills residents. Volunteers are needed in the Tehachapi area to test the Mobility by Ecolane app for Dial-A-Ride services.
All participants in the test-phase of the app will receive a complimentary 31-day pass for Dial-A-Ride services in exchange for feedback on the app’s performance. The new app will give users the ability to book and cancel their Kern Transit Dial-A-Ride trip from their mobile device.
Contact Kern Transit dispatch at 800-323-2396 for more information and to sign up to test the Mobility app.
Dial-A-Ride allows riders to be picked up and dropped off at their exact preferred location as opposed to boarding/exiting along Kern Transit routes. The service is available to all riders. All Dial-A-Ride services require a reservation at least one day in advance to guarantee your ride; however, same-day service will be provided as available on a first come, first served basis.
Tehachapi Dial-A-Ride services are available Mon. through Fri. from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sat. from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Visit the website for a map of included service areas and more information:
