About TransitRiderOC
TransitRiderOC is a website that promotes and critiques sustainable transport in Orange County. We report on, share, and discuss news that affects bicyclists, pedestrians, the car-free, and transit riders (including but not limited to OCTA, Metrolink, Amtrak, Santa Ana light rail, Anaheim Resort Transit, the Irvine Shuttle, and Laguna Beach Transit). We support improving Orange County's transportation with complete streets and public transit to improve our communities' health, economies, and environment.

About the Transit Advocates of Orange County
TAOC is an advocate for convenient, reliable, and attractive bus and rail service that better serves the needs of the county’s transit-dependent population, and also attracts a substantial portion of the current motoring public. TAOC would like to see buses, rail, bikes and walking become a normal part of everyday life and feels that improved transit services can help remove the stigma sometimes associated with transit use in Orange County. They have regular meetings, public forums, a newsletter, an e-mail discussion group, study excursions, transit updates, and regular meetings with OCTA.
