Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART), formerly Anaheim Resort Transit, was a mass transportation service in the Anaheim Resort area and its environs in Orange County, California, United States. ART used a fleet of vehicles, including tourist trolleys, to provide access to hotels, malls, and tourist-related enterprises, which were the main destinations connected by the system.
The ART service was provided by the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN), a quasi-governmental transportation management association established as a nonprofit public–private partnership in 1998. Service began in May 2002 with 8 routes. In 2025, the system had a ridership of 8,505,500, or about 107,900 per weekday as of the first quarter of 2026. The service ended on March 31, 2026, after the agency announced rising costs and stagnating revenues.
Governance
ART was owned by the Anaheim Transportation Network, a quasi-government agency organized as a nonprofit corporation. Its board of directors was composed of representatives from Disneyland, hotels, local government, tourist attractions, and other businesses in the Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle. Diana Kotler was the executive director of the organization.
Cessation of operations On January 28, 2026, the agency announced it would end service on March 31, 2026. The agency cited the inability of revenues from hotel fees to keep up with rising labor costs. The Anaheim city government previously sought to acquire the operations, but this was halted.
The Anaheim city government is interested in creating a municipally operated service as a successor to ATN. The Anaheim Tourism Improvement District committee is considering purchasing two properties at 1354 S. Anaheim Blvd. and 1213-1227 S. Claudina St. The agency has 74 vehicles that have to be transferred to another public agency, as federal law requires due to the buses being purchased with grant money. The Orange County Transportation Authority does not currently have an interest in purchasing ATN assets. The representing union Teamsters Local 1932 stated that 70 employees found new work through the contracting employer Parking Company of America.
Disneyland stated it will continue to have shuttle service from its Toy Story parking lot.
Former service At the time it ended service, ART operated 12 fixed route lines, however, routes may have been combined during periods of low demand. Most routes served to connect hotels in the Anaheim and Garden Grove area with the Disneyland Resort.
From 2010 until the end of service, Disney had contracted with ART to run route 20 between the Toy Story parking lot and the Disneyland Resort. This route operated fare-free.
