Smart City Passes

Thrive Local OC builds Smart City Passes for Orange County cities and communities to help connect:

• Local businesses

• Residents

• Visitors and tourists

Each Smart City Pass is designed to support the local economy, improve visitor experiences, and give businesses a modern way to stay visible without competing for attention online.

Whether you’re a business owner, a local resident, or visiting the city for the first time, the Smart City Pass gives you everything you need—right where you need it.

For residents, a Smart City Pass becomes a living local guide.

Instead of searching multiple websites or social platforms, locals can quickly see:

• What’s happening this weekend

• New restaurants and businesses

• Local events, live music, and best happy hours

• Seasonal activities and community happenings

Because the pass stays on your phone, it becomes a simple way to stay connected to your city—without email lists, ads, or social media noise.

It’s a cleaner, faster way to support local businesses and stay in the loop.

A Smart City Pass gives visitors:

• A trusted, local-first city guide

• Real-time information while they explore

• Easy access to food, experiences, and events

• Clear directions and parking info

• Local recommendations without tourist traps

Because the pass lives in their phone, it’s available the moment they need it—walking downtown, standing on the beach, or deciding where to eat next.
