Nick and his partner chose to settle in Valencia because the neighborhood offered everything they needed within just a few miles. Nick was immediately eager to reduce their reliance on cars, so he applied for the VALENCIA GO e-bike and Metrolink transit subsidies to make sustainable commuting a bigger part of his life.
Nick frequently uses Metrolink to travel to Burbank and Downtown Los Angeles. Instead of battling traffic and the stress of finding parking, he enjoys a peaceful, efficient commute.
“Metrolink is a lovely, quick ride,” Nick shares. “I can sit back, read a book, or be on my phone. The trains are reliable, quiet, and comfortable.”
Nick notes that the cost savings are another major perk. Without the expense of gas, parking, and wear-and-tear on his car, Nick has been able to explore more of Los Angeles. Thanks to the Metrolink Transit Subsidy, he and his partner have also ventured out of Valencia more often, discovering the amazing experiences Southern California has to offer.
Within Valencia, sustainable transportation is equally convenient. Three Santa Clarita Transit bus stops serve the community, with buses arriving hourly. Nick appreciates that the buses are clean, safe, and trackable via Google Maps.
Nick strongly encourages others to utilize programs like VALENCIA GO transportation subsidies.
“The subsidies make sustainable transportation more affordable and easier,” he says. “If more people used subsidies, rode bicycles, and took public transportation, we’d have significantly fewer vehicles on the road, further impacting congestion and our climate.”
For Nick, integrating sustainable transportation into daily life has been nothing but positive. He believes these options are essential as Valencia continues to grow, helping reduce traffic while welcoming more visitors to the community.
“The options will only get better as more people use them,” Nick says.
