Anaheim Transit Shutdown, Housing Report and OC Vibe Upgrades Lead Weekend Updates

Anaheim heads into the final days of March with significant developments in transportation, housing and long-term infrastructure planning.

ART Bus Service Ending March 31

Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART), the shuttle network serving the Resort District and surrounding hotels, is scheduled to cease operations on March 31. The shutdown affects routes connecting Disneyland-area hotels, the Convention Center and ARTIC.

City officials have previously explored transition options, but as of this weekend, riders are being advised to plan alternative transportation. The closure marks a major shift in how visitors and tourism workers move through the Resort corridor, particularly ahead of peak spring travel.

City Releases Latest Housing Progress Data

Earlier this week, the City Council reviewed its annual housing update, outlining progress toward state-mandated housing production goals. The report shows thousands of units permitted in recent years, with a mix of market-rate and affordable developments across multiple council districts.

Planning officials emphasized continued infill development, adaptive reuse projects and higher-density proposals near transit corridors as key strategies to meet long-term Regional Housing Needs Allocation targets.

OC Vibe and Platinum Triangle Infrastructure

Construction activity continues in the Platinum Triangle as the $4 billion OC Vibe project advances around Honda Center and ARTIC. Upcoming arena renovations and expanded mixed-use components are expected to reshape traffic flow, parking demand and transit connectivity in the district.

City-backed bond financing supports portions of the infrastructure buildout, while private investment funds the majority of vertical development. Improvements to transit access and pedestrian circulation remain central to the plan as Anaheim prepares for regional growth and major global events later this decade.

What It Means

Together, these developments highlight Anaheim’s ongoing balancing act: maintaining tourism-driven mobility, meeting aggressive housing targets and investing in large-scale economic development projects.

With ART service ending in two days and new housing metrics under review, transportation planning and land use decisions will remain at the forefront of City Hall discussions this spring.
