State and Regional Health Orders regarding COVID-19

In accordance with Executive Order N-33-20 issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom, public transit services, as a part of a critical infrastructure sector (transportation), remain available for essential trips only.

In accordance with the latest Public Health Order issued by the Stanislaus County Public Health Officer, members of the public are encouraged to:

• Stay home if sick (cough or fever)
• Maintain physical separation of 6' between yourself and others that are not a part of your household
• Cough into a tissue, or if unavailable, your elbow
• Wash your hands frequently
• Avoid unnecessary physical contact

Keeping You Safe

Turlock Transit has been taking steps to clean buses and transit facilities, adjusting policies, and providing resources to combat COVID-19 even before the declaration of a national, state, or local emergency.  These steps were taken to safeguard both our transit employees and members of the traveling public. 

​These steps include:

• Rear door boarding and fare suspension was implemented on fixed route buses to minimize interactions at the front door between drivers and passengers
• High touch points in buses & transit facilities are wiped down with a CDC-approved disinfectant cleaner regularly throughout the day.
• Social distancing messaging is provided through flyers in maps cases, on buses, and in buses, and reinforced through floor decals in buses and the lobby of the Transit Center.
• Fogging buses. In addition to other efforts, starting in mid-May all buses in active service will be fogged regularly with Vital Oxide, a non-toxic, EPA-approved cleaner that is effective against COVID-19 and can reach hard-to-reach places, including A/C air filters.
• Free hand sanitizer bottles and single-use face masks will be available to passengers, upon request, later in May. These are important tools to further reduce the spread of COVID-19.

We continue to work closely with our transit operator, who employs the dispatchers and bus drivers that operate Turlock Transit, to ensure that all appropriate protocols are in place and all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is available to keep our transit personnel safe.

Turlock Transit provides public transit services to the city of Turlock and the community of Denair.  If you have questions about our services that can't be answered here, please call us at (209) 668-5600 so we can help answer your questions. We look forward to serving you!
