I just came across a great site that not only provides a lot of useful information, including discounts and activity ideas, for anyone visiting Santa Barbara, but also promotes getting around that beautiful city without a car! Santa Barbara Car Free provides suggestions and itineraries for those looking for a car-free way to visit the city.

According to the web site, their goal is "to encourage car free, carefree transportation to, and around, Santa Barbara, to promote cleaner air." (http://www.santabarbaracarfree.org/aboutus.htm)

Santa Barbara’s Downtown-Waterfront Shuttle actually recently provided its 10,000,000th passenger with a nice ride along the waterfront in its open-air electric shuttle. Rides on these shuttles are only $0.25 and they also go up and down State Street. For more information about this service and many others that Santa Barbara offers, check out Santa Barbara Car Free. This is a Must-See for anyone planning to visit. Be sure to check out the "Bus Around" link.
