Overview
- ATN’s board, composed largely of hoteliers and resort interests, voted unanimously on Jan. 29 to conduct an orderly wind-down with all service ending March 31, 2026.
- The network serves more than 8 million riders annually through ART routes linking over 80 hotels with the Disneyland Resort, ARTIC, John Wayne Airport, and the convention center.
- Labor accounts for over 70% of operating costs while hotel contributions are capped at 5% annual increases, producing recurring deficits including a reported $730,000 monthly shortfall.
- The Anaheim Tourism Improvement District previously provided $5.7 million in emergency support, and ATN sought an additional $2.5 million, but long-term sustainability was not achieved.
- Anaheim is not taking over the system; the city says businesses are preparing options and it is exploring future connections from the transit center, yet no replacement service has been announced and any continuation of Toy Story Lot shuttles remains unconfirmed.
