Head to Santa Barbara for a day or weekend without your car and save on hotel accommodations, restaurants, and activities. The city of Santa Barbara wants visitors to “Take a Vacation from your Car,” while offering discounts around their beautiful city.
From Santa Barbara Car Free:
Santa Barbara Car Free is a cooperative project initiated and led by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, with support from the City of Santa Barbara, Amtrak California®, and many other partners. More than 100 agencies, organizations, associations, businesses and individuals have been meeting since 1998 to discuss and implement the mission. The project encourages visitors to arrive car free–or if they choose to drive, to park their cars and enjoy the area car free.
Visitors can receive 20 percent savings on Amtrak Pacific Surfliner and San Joaquin (and linked buses) to/from all nine Amtrak stations in Santa Barbara County (Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Solvang, Buellton, Lompoc, Surf, Guadalupe & Santa Maria). You will need to be ready to purchase your Amtrak tickets, and then register on this link. A three-day advance purchase is required.
