A transit system strike on the South Coast has been averted for at least a day.
Santa Barbara MTD and the Teamsters have been deadlocked on a new contract. Employees had authorized a strike. The contract was set to expire at midnight Monday, but both sides agreed to a one-day contract extension. Service will operate as usual on Tuesday.
The transit system operates more than 40 routes serving the region from Carpinteria to Goleta.
