Thank you County Express drivers for providing essential services to so many San Benito County residents!

We are delighted to officially announce the launch of the NEW Highway 25 Project website. HWY25.ORG As the project progresses, we will be excited to share with you the latest as we work towards increasing safety and relieving congestion on Highway 25.

County Express is an important partner in the local state-funded program "Great Plates Delivered" to provide meals to local seniors. The program involves a partnership with local restaurants to deliver meals to seniors aged 65 and older or adults aged 60 to 64 who are at high risk from COVID-19 to help them stay healthy at home. It is also an effort to help local restaurants that may be struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you County Express drivers for providing essential services to our community!
