City to provide free rides to COVID-19 vaccination sites for all residents

3/30/2021

Starting Thursday, April 1, 2021, and continuing until further notice, the City of Turlock (Turlock Transit) will be providing free, roundtrip service on Dial-a-Ride to passengers seeking a COVID-19 vaccination from authorized vaccination sites. The purpose of this enhanced service is to remove financial barriers to vaccination, including access by transit-dependent passengers.

Dial-a-Ride is a reservation-based, point-to-point transportation service that operates Monday-Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. While same-day reservation requests may be accommodated, as resources allow, passengers are encouraged to call (209) 668-5600 at least one day in advance to guarantee a reservation.

Passengers transported to and from vaccination sites will not share a ride with other individuals outside of the passenger’s household. This service offering is available to all individuals eligible to receive a vaccination, as well as their personal care attendants. Authorized vaccination sites are those community provider networks listed by the Stanislaus County Health Services Agency (http://schsa.org/coronavirus/vaccine) and located within the city of Turlock.

Stanislaus County Region Transit Agencies Offering Free Transit During Go Green Week

2/16/2021

The three transit providers in Stanislaus County, including Modesto Area Express (MAX), Stanislaus County Regional Transit (StaRT), and Turlock Transit announced today that all rides on all fixed route buses will be free for passengers during Go Green Week (March 14-20, 2021) as part of a joint, free ride promotion. This includes MAX to BART Commuter Express, MAX to ACE Commuter Express, and StaRT’s BART Commuter bus services, but excludes ADA Paratransit, Medivan, and Dial-a-Ride services.

“We’re excited to coordinate our efforts with our regional partners to make it easier than ever for all County residents to experience the benefits of transit, particularly for those residents that have never stepped foot on a bus before,” said Wayne York, Transit Manager for Turlock Transit. “We look forward to showing the public how using public transit can be a positive, cost-effective transportation alternative to single-occupant motor vehicles.”

City protects bus drivers through use of new air filtering technology

2/8/2021

The City of Turlock's Transit Division has installed AirBubbl® air filtration devices in the driver’s area of public transit buses to minimize driver exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Turlock Transit is the first public transit agency in California to deploy this technology in its public transit fleet.

AirBubbl® devices are manufactured by Airlabs®, a firm based in London, England, and independently tested by the Institute of Energy and Environmental Technology (IUTA). The patented devices quietly and continually remove more than 95% of airborne viruses, bacteria, and other harmful particulate matter from the air and generate approximately 1,060 cubic feet of clean air each hour. Each device has an activated nano carbon filter and high-grade particle filter, enabling it to capture particles as small as 0.1 micron.
