Downtown Delray Beach Access- Take the Downtown Roundabout Trolley!

Delray Beach wants to make it easier for you to enjoy Atlantic Avenue and the beach!   If you’re delray beach trolleydriving around downtown Delray, you’ve probably noticed the very patriotic Roundabout Trolleys along Atlantic Avenue.
 

Beginning July 1, they’ve been offering the FREE service from the Tri-Rail Station to Atlantic Avenue east to A1A (the beach) and then back.
 

This is good news for anyone wanting to head to the beach, but worried about parking; visitors staying at a downtown hotel wanting to go to the beach, or anyone wanting to enjoy our weekend dining and entertainment.  You can leave your car in an outlying garage and hop the trolley!

The Trolleys have been funded thanks to a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation and the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency.  There are 3 trolleys that operate 2 routes and can be flagged down along Atlantic Avenue at any of the Palm Tran Stops or other designated Trolley Stops.  

Hours of Service:

Route 1:Monday-Friday     6 AM-7 PM

             Saturday & Sunday     8 AM -6 PM

Route 2: Monday-Friday     6:45 AM-11:15 PM

              Saturday & Sunday     Noon-11 PM

**Please note that only service dogs will be allowed to ride on the trolley.

Hi Kathy.  Great idea.  You can never find a parking spot at the beach unless you are there at 6AM.

What are you trying to say here Ms. Kathy that public transportation is something one can enjoy?  Have a great day and enjoy the walk :)

Good morning Kathy. This is an appealing alternative to parking and worrying about getting a space. The tolley is neat and a throw back. All good stuff.

It's so cute!  I'm sure it makes for a much more convenient trip to the beach for many!

Hi Kathy -- the Downtown Delray Beach is an attention getter on many levels ---- FREE and no parking worries are just two of them.

I actually love trolleys, not only a good way to get around but you can see so much more. When you get a nice driver they add so much insight to an area i may never have been to.

Kathy, this is good news, and surely must help the parking situation!  For those beach goers that are not able to walk too far, this new transportation idea is great!

Kathy, your posts come alive when you write about Del Ray Beach. Taking the round about trolley sound like a fun and easy way to tour the area.

Really cool idea.  We have a similar thing in our town called the Agoura Hills Dial a Ride.  It will pick you up and take you around our community for a very small charge, just to cover the fuel.  Tons of elderly people and actually students use the service to get to and fro.

Bobbie- take a picture and show it off!

Wayne-  you can park in a city lot or anywhere you can and then take the trolley to the beach!

Conrad- on a gorgeous sunny day, parking can be so hard to find.  And if you're visiting you can just ride up and down Atlantic. 

James- who wouldn't want to ride a trolley!

Sheila- and it's really visible with those colors!

Gabe- come on down to Delray and take a trolley ride!

BARFF- I love the name Lolly Trolley!

Sharon- and it's perfect for someone coming up from Ft Lauderdale or down from Palm Beach. They could take the Tri-Rail and take the Trolley to Atlantic Ave. 

Michael- they are so pro-active!

Scott- I remember taking the trolley when I was a little girl visiting San Francisco!

Joan- we met a lady moving here from NY and doesn't drive.  She is excited about the trolley. 

Will- give me a call and I'll give you a tour!  

Kristin- same to you.  I haven't ridden one yet, but I plan on it. 

Barbara- thank you.  I'm just so excited about this area. 

Jeffrey- head south!  I'll meet you on Atlantic!

Kathy: What a great way to solve the traffic problem. I see trolleys more and more, especially here in Honolulu for the visitors to get around.

Kathy,

This Trolley is a great idea. Parking can be very difficult to find close to the beach, it is probably the biggest reason I think twice before getting in my car to make the 15 minute drive East.

Kathy,

It seems like a lot of tourist areas have trolleys, I think they are wonderful.  We have them here in Santa Barbara and also had them in Napa.  They are a great way to enjoy. A
