districts are linked together

Winds Casino,” Hazen said.
“They can actually get there
on our respective bus systems
that connect with each other.”
Publicizing, detailing and
facilitating such travel op-

will be the function of the
planned information center.
“Our idea is just to do
some outreach and have a
presence in the south area,”
says Hazen. “We service the
whole county, and I think it’s
important that we’re a part of
Seaside, too.”

The Sunset Empire Trans-
portation District plans to open
an information and ticket sales
center in Seaside this spring.
Though a lease has yet to be
signed, district Executive Di-
rector Jeff Hazen is negotiating
to rent a storefront space in the
Seaside Factory Outlet Center,
along U.S. Highway 101.
“If I can get the lease
signed this month it would be
safe to assume we’ll be open
by March,” Hazen said.
“It will basically just be a
place where people get infor-
mation on transportation in
the area, including our sys-
tem,” he said. “And we’ll be
able to sell some bus tickets
and bus passes out of there,
and help people get to where
they need to go.”
The Sunset Empire Trans-
portation District covers Clat-
sop County, with bus routes
on U.S. Highway 30, from
Astoria to Longview, Wash.,
and along Highway 101,
from Astoria to Manzanita.
