VICTORVILLE – Victorville is offering free bus tours, June 11, 24, and 27 for community members to gain a behind-the-scenes look at Victorville operations, services, and strategic priorities.

The VV101 Bus Tour is a four-hour guided tour. The city says attendees will be among a very select few to drive the apron at the Southern California Logistics Airport or to walk the campus of the new Victorville Wellness Center.

City budget, plans for Old Town and more

Victorville mayor Liz Becerra invites the community to learn about how the city government works in a short, engaging format.

“In contrast to a typical citizens academy that can take 12 weeks to complete, we’ve designed this quick, guided tour to give our community valuable insight and to connect about important strategic initiatives,” said Becerra.

Included in the tour is how the city budget works, plans for Old Town, infrastructure projects, capital improvements, community services, and a visit to the Materials Recovery Facility.

Climate-controlled bus

The city says participants will meet at Victorville City Hall for an introduction. Afterward, participants will board a climate-controlled bus for the tour.  Opportunities will be provided to exit the bus to walk through various facilities.  Refreshments will be provided.
