JAZZ is Monterey-Salinas Transit's pilot project to provide faster service along a 6.75-mile corridor through Monterey, Seaside, and Sand City. JAZZ uses limited stop spacing along the Lighthouse and Fremont corridors, transit signal priority, and at two intersections, queue jump lanes. JAZZ generally uses seven distinctive orange buses designed by Pablo Lobato, a graphic designer and illustrator from Buenos Aires, and Phil Wellman, graphic designer for the Monterey Jazz Festival.

In a partnership with the Festival, 30 displays distributed among the JAZZ stations form a "linear jazz museum," each showcasing a year of the festival's history. QR codes at each display link to an online archive of music, video, and photos from the festival. Sheltered JAZZ stations also incorporate a display for real-time Departure and Arrival times, as well as lighting and a pair of security cameras.

JAZZ is a low end form of bus rapid transit, as it operates in mixed traffic on city streets, with all passengers paying their fare onboard.
