Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Reopens After Annual Maintenance
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway reopened on Monday, October 13, 2025, after its annual maintenance closure and an earlier shutdown in August due to electrical problems.
Crews used the time to complete major safety upgrades, including:
- Rebuilding the carriage on one of the tram cars
- Replacing a key cable
- Testing the control systems
Officials say the work was essential to ensure the system remains safe for public use.
The repairs addressed both routine wear and unexpected faults, and involved close inspection of equipment not normally accessible during daily operation.
The tramway is now fully operational, with trams running daily from 10:00 a.m.
