Skip the traffic and ride smart with public transportation options! About 10 million cars enter the Lake Tahoe Basin annually, contributing to the decline of water clarity because of air pollutants, particles that muddy Lake Tahoe’s waters, and chemicals that feed algae blooms, along with increasing volumes of plastic and other debris.
With construction projects during peak seasons, traffic can add hours to your total travel time. We encourage visitors to use public transportation to mitigate all of these impacts and help preserve Lake Tahoe!
