Saturday Trolley Rides
All Aboard Easton is a community trolley running every Saturday from July 25th through August 15th, connecting the West Ward and South Side neighborhoods directly to downtown. The mission is simple: make spending a Saturday in the heart of Easton easier and more accessible for everyone: no car, no parking meters, no hassle!
For years, the Easton Trolley was a beloved and recognizable staple of downtown life before going on hiatus. Last holiday season, it made its triumphant return for tours during the Easton Winter Village, and now it's hitting the streets again, this time to bring neighbors downtown all summer long. Hop on and enjoy the ride.
Plan Your Ride
All aboard Easton is intended to bring Easton residents and visitors from the West Ward and South Side neighborhoods into the downtown. During these hours, explore the Easton Farmers’ Market, incredible small businesses and restaurants, attractions for families, and more!

Where we’re headed
Know Before You Go
-
Check the map and schedule above for all stop locations and times. The trolley runs between the West Ward, Southside, and downtown Easton, so there's likely a stop close to you.
-
Nope! Just show up at your stop when the trolley comes around. A volunteer will greet you and get you set up with a wristband when you board. Your wristband gives you priority boarding on return trips.
-
Your wristband gives you priority boarding on return trips, so you can get back home. Hold onto it for the whole day.
-
The trolley will do its best to get you home, but return trips are not guaranteed; the trolley runs at maximum capacity and operates on a fixed schedule. Wristband holders are prioritized, but if the trolley is full when it reaches your stop, you may need to wait for the next pass.
-
Routes are fixed and non-negotiable. The trolley follows its set path each run.
-
Not at this time, unfortunately.

A volunteer rides along on every run and is happy to help with anything you need.
Meet your Trolley Driver, Ross!
Ross Forsythe is about as Easton as it gets. Born, raised, and still living in the city, Ross belongs to a downtown church and a downtown lodge, so when the opportunity to drive the Easton Trolley came along, it felt like a natural fit.
Ross brings over three decades of professional driving experience to the seat. He spent 36 years with Trans-Bridge Lines, where he drove charters, tours, Atlantic City runs, and commuter routes to New York City, including stops at Newark and Kennedy Airports and weekend pickups at Cape Liberty Cruise Port. In 2006, he was named Driver of Distinction by Trans-Bridge in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Bus Association, an honor that speaks for itself. Though retired, Ross still drives for Trans-Bridge a few times a month out of loyalty to the company he's called home for so long.
He got behind the wheel of the Easton Trolley for the first time last holiday season at the Winter Village, and by the sounds of it, he's hooked. When he's not driving, you'll find him spending time with his cats Patches and Anya, working around the house, serving on the property committee at his church, or taking a relaxing day trip to Lancaster County. Ask Ross for a downtown dining recommendation and he won't hesitate: his two favorites are Antonio's Pizzeria and Jimmy's Hot Dogs, and he's thrilled to see Jimmy's back downtown where it got its start!
