The Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA) is launching systemwide service changes on March 5, 2023, as a result of its Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) findings from 2022. The changes will help provide transit equity across The S service area.

 The “Connecting Communities on The S” service launch will add 200+ new bus stops and partially redesign most routes. You can find detailed service change information here. Highlights include:

  • Added Sunday bus service
  • Added 60-minute service frequency
  • Bidirectional routes to improve on-time performance
  • Three new routes
  • Ceres mobility hub

All services on The S will be free from March 5 through 18 to celebrate Go Green Weeks. Riders are encouraged to purchase and activate multi-day passes accordingly. Passes are not refundable once activated.
