Picture
The City of Turlock is developing a Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to help guide the future of Turlock Transit over the next five years.

This planning effort will evaluate current transit services, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop recommendations that enhance mobility, accessibility, and the overall rider experience. The SRTP will serve as a roadmap for future service, operational, technology, and capital investment decisions, helping ensure Turlock Transit continues to meet the evolving needs of the community.

Whether you ride transit every day, occasionally, or not at all, your input will play an important role in shaping the future of transit in Turlock.

Turlock Transit provides essential transportation services throughout the community, connecting residents to jobs, schools, healthcare, shopping, recreation, and regional destinations. As Turlock continues to grow, so do the transportation needs of its residents.

The Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) will evaluate the existing transit system and identify strategies to improve service over the next five years. The plan will help the City better understand current travel patterns, rider needs, service gaps, and opportunities to enhance the transit experience for both current and future riders.

The SRTP will establish a practical and achievable implementation strategy that supports mobility, equity, sustainability, and long-term operational success.

The Long-Range Transit Plan (LRTP) will evaluate big picture community transportation needs over a longer timeframe, with a particular emphasis on facilities and vehicles and zero-emission transition mandates.
