The Tahoe Transportation District announced Wednesday that the East Shore Express will not operate in 2020, but plans to resume service in summer 2021.
Tourism is a major part of the Lake Tahoe economy, especially throughout the Highway 50 corridor from Stateline to South Lake Tahoe. 20,000-30,000 cars travel on the road, daily, and officials say traffic has increased 15 percent in the last five years, as the economy rebounded.
South Lake Tahoe is hoping to create a more successful mountain resort community with the Highway 50 Revitalization Project.
