SERVICE ALERT: Friday, 12/06/24
  • Service on Route 4 will be modified due to parade-related closures between 2:30-9:00 PM. Route 4 will follow the standard route up until the stop at Canal & Main (#166), at which point it will detour to serve the stop at Colorado & Main (#176) and return to the Transit Center along the standard route. All stops between Canal & Bell (#167) and Main & Lyons (#230) will not be served.
  • Service on Route 5 will be suspended starting at 4:00 PM. Service on Route 5 will be suspended from 4:00-9:00 PM due to parade-related street closures and related service changes.

Transit & the Christmas Parade

On Friday, 12/6/24, the 45th Annual Downtown Turlock Christmas Parade will take place. The parade starts promptly at 6:30 p.m. and the last entry is expected to turn onto Main St. around 7:30 p.m. 

​Due to road closures associated with the event, as well as heavy traffic congestion in the area, drivers may find it difficult to travel in the downtown area in the afternoon/evening hours, as well as find a parking spot.

Turlock Transit has a solution for you . We will continue to provide free, fixed route service (Route 4) all day between the Transit Center and the bus stop at E. Canal Dr. & Main St., near the start of the parade. Since special event road closures won't allow for the bus to complete it's normal route, it will deviate along Main St. and return to the regular route at Colorado Ave. 

Transit staff has coordinated with City event and police personnel to ensure priority transit access near the parade.  This will ensure you get to where you need to go with minimal delays.


Buses will operate every 15 minutes, resulting in minimal wait times. ​The last bus will depart this bus stop at 8:41 p.m. 

December kicks off a regional free-fare joint promotion with Merced and StanRTA where all passengers can ride any public transit bus for free.
