The 4th of July is arguably one of the busiest times of the year in Lake Tahoe. With an influx of people in the area, it’s more important than ever to travel responsibly. That's where TART comes in. It's a free, app-based door-to-door micro-transit that can take you almost anywhere in Lake Tahoe. Skip the driving and parking and let TART take you around.

Each year on July 5, Lake Tahoe residents and visitors turn out for one of the largest cleanups of the year, hosted by Keep Tahoe Blue. Held at various locations around Lake Tahoe, you can participate in the Keep Tahoe Red, White and Blue Beach Cleanup, and do your part to remove litter from beaches to help protect the area’s wildlife and the lake’s clarity.
