In 2012, a Regional Transit Plan was developed that called for the creation of three subregional service areas: the [Gold Coast Transit District](/wiki/Gold_Coast_Transit "Gold Coast Transit"), serving the west county cities of Oxnard, Ventura, Port Hueneme, Ojai and unincorporated areas; the [Heritage Valley Transit Service](/wiki/Heritage_Valley_Transit_Service "Heritage Valley Transit Service") serving Fillmore, Santa Paula and Piru; and a less formal east county transit agreement covering Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo and unincorporated areas.
 The commission would continue to oversee the intercity bus system, [Ventura Intercity Service Transit Authority](/wiki/Ventura_Intercity_Service_Transit_Authority "Ventura Intercity Service Transit Authority").Harris, Mike (November 7, 2014\) ["Fillmore company loses bid for transit contract"](http://www.vcstar.com/news/local-news/fillmore/fillmore-company-loses-bid-for-transit-contract_05246919) *[Ventura County Star](/wiki/Ventura_County_Star "Ventura County Star")*

In 2015, the commission oversaw the creation of the Heritage Valley Transit Service and the beginning of four fixed\-route bus lines in Fillmore, Santa Paula and Piru using 16\-seat buses. The *Valley Express* was established under a cooperative agreement between the cities of Fillmore Santa Paula, the county of Ventura (Piru and unincorporated areas) and the commission.
