Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART), established in 1998 as the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN)[2] and formerly known as Anaheim Resort Transit,[5][11] is a mass transportation provider in the Anaheim Resort area[5] and its environs[4] in Orange County, California, United States. ART uses a fleet of vehicles, including tourist trolleys,[5] to provide access to hotels, malls, and tourist-related enterprises, which are the main destinations connected by the system.[12] In 2024, the system had a ridership of 8,293,000, or about 24,600 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2024.

Governance

ART is owned by the Anaheim Transportation Network, a quasi-government agency[5] organized as a nonprofit corporation.[13] Its board of directors is made up of representatives from hotels, local government, tourist attractions, and other businesses in the Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle.[14] Diana Kotler is the executive director of the organization.[10][14]

Routes

Fixed routes

ART operates 12 fixed route lines, however routes may be combined during periods of low demand. Most routes serve to connect hotels in the Anaheim and Garden Grove area with the Disneyland Resort.

Since 2010 Disney has contracted with ART to run route 20 between a Disney-owned parking lot and the Disneyland Resort. This route operates fare-free.[5][15]

ART also operates On-Demand services with stops in Buena Park, Orange, and Anaheim.
