Gold Coast Transit, formerly known as South Coast Area Transit (SCAT), is a municipal bus operator in western Ventura County, California, serving Ventura, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ojai, and the adjoining areas of unincorporated Ventura County.

History

Gold Coast Transit was founded in 1973 as South Coast Area Transit with the merger of the Ventura City Transit Lines and the Oxnard Municipal Bus Lines. Until 1994, SCAT also served Santa Paula. Service to Santa Paula has since been replaced with VISTA routes and a dial-a-ride service within the City of Santa Paula. The system adopted the name Gold Coast Transit effective July 1, 2007.[2] This accompanied a change in bus livery and the acquisition of 26 new buses.[3]
