November 21, 2025 - A new public transit pilot project offering bus service between McMinnville and Eugene, with two stops in Corvallis, officially launches on Monday, November 24. 

The pilot project, dubbed 99 Vine, is a partnership between Benton County and Yamhill County and aims to provide bus service to eight communities along the 99W corridor, Monday through Friday. This new service is fareless and will connect McMinnville to Eugene with stops in communities including Rickreall, Amity, Monmouth, Corvallis (OSU and downtown), Monroe, Junction City, and Eugene. 99 Vine makes the Willamette Valley more accessible than ever with four trips in each direction every day.

Earlier this year, Yamhill County and Benton County selected Pacific Crest Bus Lines to operate the service. Check out the full schedule and visit the Pacific Crest website for more information.

99 Vine is beginning service as a grant-funded, six-month pilot project. Locally, Corvallis is served by Corvallis Transit System, which offers fareless bus service throughout Corvallis, along with some regional connectors.
