New Transportation Program for Irvine Seniors

More than a year before New York City made news for a plan to no longer charge residents for riding the bus, Irvine established its own program that provides residents with free transportation to parks, schools, hospitals, and shopping centers through the Irvine CONNECT shuttle bus service.

The Irvine CONNECT program has proven to be especially helpful for students traveling to and from school and for residents who want to leave their cars at home while running errands around town.

The City is now launching a new transportation program for Irvine seniors 60 years of age and older with its WeRide program, which is a same-day, on-demand transportation service powered by volunteer drivers.

Marine Way Underpass Project at the Great Park

With so many new amenities coming to the Great Park, the City is working to improve access and traffic circulation into and around the park.

A portion of Marine Way runs along the southern perimeter of the Great Park, north of the Metrolink railway. However, there is currently no direct rail crossing or direct road access into the Great Park from Marine Way and Barranca.

Construction is now underway to extend Marine Way and create a new rail undercrossing to provide a direct connection between the Great Park and the Spectrum area.

Great Park Championship Soccer Stadium Expansion

The Great Park Championship Soccer Stadium has been home to the Orange County Soccer Club (OCSC) since 2017, which the club leases from the City of Irvine.

Each year, attendance at the OCSC matches has grown. In fact, most of the matches were sold out last year. To accommodate the club's growing fan base, the City approved plans to expand the stadium's capacity. Construction should be completed in time for the OCSC home opener on March 7th.

The project — which is being fully funded by OCSC at no cost to the City — will include a new private group seating area for corporate outings and community events, new reserved seating behind the goal, and additional seating near the scoreboard.
