On-Demand Microtransit (MOD)
Fixed Routes 2 and 5 will not be discontinued and Route 1 will not be streamlined. These routes will remain in place to provide consistent service to riders.
Phase 1 Alternative Plan: At the December 2024 meeting, the Yuba-Sutter Transit Board of Directors approved an alternative plan to provide on-demand Microtransit (MOD) service in Linda and Olivehurst as a complement to the fixed routes instead of a replacement. The alternative plan will become effective in Spring 2025.
