With 100,000 people trying to get to the World Ag Expo grounds on a two-lane road, traffic jams were part of the process of getting to the Tulare Farm Show just off Highway 99 for several years.

No more.

Several years ago the farm show initiated a park and ride program with acres of offsite free parking and free shuttle service.

Park and Ride passengers not only take advantage of the free shuttle service running every 15 minutes, but they can purchase admission tickets to the show without waiting in line, and enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee.

Orange Belt Stages buses will move passengers between five off-site parking areas to the World Ag Expo show grounds:

Park and Ride shuttle buses will drop off and pick up at the west end of the show grounds, Gate 2, near the Heritage Complex. People movers routinely stop at Gate 2 to pick up and distribute attendees and exhibitors around the show grounds if needed.
