NEW EMERALD BAY PARKING PROJECT
This summer, unsafe, illegal, and environmentally harmful roadside parking will be removed in Emerald Bay and a new shuttle service, funded by Keep Tahoe Blue and Tahoe Fund , will offer an easy, convenient and lake-friendly transportation alternative to access one of Tahoe’s most visited spots.
Over the July 4 holiday, Caltrans conducted a Road Safety Audit that will be used to identify long- and short-term transportation solutions that the agency may be able to implement permanently. Following the holiday, the Tahoe Transportation District installed temporary barriers to restrict access to the roadside parking spaces in conjunction with the summer pilot project.
Shuttle service to Emerald Bay begins tomorrow, Tuesday, July 15. During the pilot project, California Highway Patrol will be strictly enforcing the new parking restrictions.
The new Emerald Bay shuttle service will operate seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. between July 15 and October 15, 2025, with a roundtrip cost to the rider of $10 for adults, $5 for kids ages 13 and under. Tickets will be available through a simple online reservation system starting in early July.
