History of Sun Shuttle & Transit

Founded in Fillmore...

Sun Shuttle Transit began its journey in Fillmore in 1981, founded by the visionary Chappy Morris as VC Dial-A-Ride. With a deep commitment to the community, Chappy aimed to provide reliable and accessible transportation for everyone, establishing a strong reputation for quality service.

In 2018, Chappy's son, Bill Morris, took the helm, bringing a fresh vision to the company. Under his leadership, VC Dial-A-Ride was rebranded to Fillmore Area Transit Corporation and from there it became Sun Shuttle Transit, reflecting a modern approach while honoring the legacy of its founder. Bill’s dedication to enhancing the service and expanding the fleet has made Sun Shuttle Transit a trusted name for all types of transportation needs.

Today, we remain committed to Chappy’s values of safety, reliability, and community focus. Whether it’s transporting students, individuals with special needs, or providing shuttle services for events, we are proud to serve the Fillmore community and beyond with the warmth of a family-owned business.
