M1-Crosstown Shuttle
In June 2021, the terminal for the M1-Crosstown Shuttle moved from the Menlo Park Senior Center to the corner of Terminal Avenue and Del Norte Avenue. This temporary stop will be in service until approximately mid-2024 while the new Menlo Park Community Campus is being constructed. While the stop for the end of the line will change, the shuttle schedule remains unchanged.
Menlo Park's senior services have moved to the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center at Burgess Park during construction. This is a short walk from the M1-Crosstown Shuttle's Menlo Park Library stop. Maps and schedules are available below.
