Additionally, SunLine is exploring the possibility of providing service to the Coachella Valley Art and Music Festival, Stagecoach Festival and realignment of Line 70 or 111 to stop near the BNP Paribas Open. The transportation industry is undergoing massive transformation, and SunLine is studying ways to improve and change its service model in order to remain competitive and continue to provide valued service to the community.

The planning study will help SunLine prepare for a range of uncertain funding scenarios and will include community and Board consultation throughout the process.
