On March 27, 2025, less than three years after the city’s new transportation system was launched, the Sedona Shuttle transported 1 million riders with its popular free trailhead route service.

“It’s a million passenger trip for those who could hike or ride Sedona’s iconic trails without finding them in the parking lot.

Sedona Shuttle’s trailhead route averages over 35 per hour and is open from three Park and Ride lots, Posse Grounds, North Sr 179 and West Sr 89a. They offer five of Sedona’s most popular trailheads, Mezcal, Dry Creek Vista, Soldier Pass, Cathedral Rock and Little Horse – and have access to hundreds of miles of trails with iconic views such as Devil’s Bridge and Cathedral Rock.

The Sedona Shuttle offers multiple benefits for local people and visitors. Not only can residents jump on the shuttle without looking for parking, but there is a dramatic decline in traffic and parking issues near the most popular trailheads. Visitors also fear illegal parking and appreciate the ability to reach incredible recreational opportunities without damaging the vulnerable environment.

Recently, the introduction of Sedona Shuttle Connect has made trailhead routes even easier to use. This on-demand shared ride service will greet riders at home or in hotels and take them to almost anywhere in Sedona, including three parks and lots of rides.

“Now, Sedona residents and visitors can have a completely car-free experience when they choose to replicate in Sedona,” Wagner said.

The Sedona Shuttle Trailhead Routes Operations are funded through local taxes, and the Sedona Shuttle Connect Operations is a mix of local and federal funds. Find out more about Sedona Shuttle www.sedonashuttle.com.
