• MST SERVICE SUSPENSION DURING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC

    EFFECTIVE MARCH 28, 2020 

    MST understands that many residents rely on our services to access essential services and employment. MST has always prided itself in providing the communities we serve with safe, reliable, efficient transportation; however, at this time, we will reduce frequency, and in some cases, suspend service on certain lines.

    The County of Monterey has issued a shelter in place emergency order, and although MST is considered an essential business and service will continue, it will be in a limited capacity.
