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.

ride for free in august 2020

7/26/2020

 
Turlock Transit will suspend fare collection for fixed route and Dial-a-Ride services during the month of August 2020, allowing passengers to ride for free.  This change is being made for several reasons, including:
  1. Physical Distancing. By providing free fares we can continue the use of rear door boarding for most passengers on the larger buses, which minimizes direct interactions between bus drivers and passengers.  This helps reduce the potential spread of COVID-19.
  2. Driver Barriers. Physical barriers (doors) are scheduled to be installed in the transit buses in August.  By extending the free fare period, it provides time for the barriers to be completed prior to resuming fare collection (and front door boarding) in September 2020.
  3. Financial Relief for Passengers.  As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued for longer than initially anticipated, we understand that many of our passengers may be struggling financially during these uncertain times.  Due to additional resources provided by the CARES Act and legislative relief provided by AB 90, we are able to extend free fares to passengers in this manner.

Regular fare collection is expected to resume on September 1, 2020.
