Go car(e) free to live events at the Rose Bowl. Let us take care of the driving, so you can sit back, relax, and avoid the hassle of Rose Bowl traffic and parking. The shuttle is a straight shot to the front gates of the Rose Bowl. Park your car at the Parsons parking lot. You can also take Line 187 to Raymond and Walnut to catch the Foothill Transit Rose Bowl shuttle. Look for the line of people — don’t worry about the line, it moves quickly — and in mere minutes you’ll be on your way to the stadium.
Shuttles start running from the Parsons parking lot on Pasadena Ave just north of Union St. Times and prices vary by event. For times, please see the events list below. For shuttle pricing, please view the Rose Bowl event page. Before you board the bus, make sure all food and drink is in sealed, spill-proof containers. This is to avoid slips, trips, and falls and to keep our buses clean and safe for everyone. If you have a drink in a disposable container, please finish it and dispose of it before you board. Also, keep in mind the Rose Bowl’s bag policy, which you can find on their list of stadium rules and prohibited items.
Foothill Transit happily supports the Tournament of Roses for the 11th year! As we look back at the challenges our community has faced this past year, including the devastating wildfires around Southern California, we’re inspired by the extraordinary ways our community has come together to help and show kindness to one another.
The Tournament of Roses has shown kindness this year by helping local non-profits and other relief organizations after the fires in the Pasadena area. 2026 Rose Queen® Serena Guo lifts people up by volunteering at a local food bank, providing meals and care to those in need.
We all play a part in creating kinder, more connected communities, and we’re proud to support everyone working toward this goal with reliable service that keeps us going good places.
If you’re in a position to give, or if you’re in need of some kindness, here are some local food banks and community resources in the Foothill Transit service area.
