Text4Alert
Text4Alerts is Orange County Transportation Authority's text message feature that lets you receive riders’ alerts on your mobile phone. Simply select which routes you want to stay informed about, and when there is a detour, schedule change or anything else impacting that route, you will receive a text message on your mobile phone alerting you to the change. By signing up you will also receive text messages about special OCTA bus programs and services.
Sign-up for alerts by phone
You can sign-up for alerts using your mobile phone. Here is an example of how the process works when signing up by phone.

How do I discontinue receiving text messages from OCTA?
If you subscribe to OCTA’s Text4Alerts messaging service, to discontinue receiving text messages from OCTA, you will simply text the word “STOP” to 91923 and you will be removed from receiving ALL text messages from OCTA.
If you just want to unsubscribe to a specific route, you simply text to 91923 the word “STOPALERT” and the route number you wish to stop receiving text messages on and you will be removed from that route list only.
