Improve Transit Access

Measure

The County will support and work with SacRT, Transportation Management Associations, and other transit providers to address identified gaps in public transit networks through implementation of the policies in the Circulation Element that seek to help by “promoting transit services, assuring that users are provided with adequate transportation choices, addressing user needs, developing convenient transfers between transportation systems, and ensuring adequate funding for the transit network” (Sacramento County. 2011. Sacramento County General Plan of 2005-2030).

​Status of Implementation

The Department of Transportation provides dial-a-ride (DAR), fixed route, and commuter services throughout the eastern and southern portions of Sacramento County. In the south County, Sacramento County partners with the City of Galt to manage a bus transit program known as South County Link (SCT Link) with four bus routes. In 2023-2024, the Department of Transportation expanded service on Dial-a-Ride for extended hours on weekdays and the Highway 99 route to include Saturday service.

Sacramento County also contracts with Amador Transit to provide one commuter route to Sacramento for those living in Rancho Murieta in east Sacramento County.

Working with the Planning and Environmental Review Division and Special Districts, the Department of Transportation provides input on long range plans for future transit service in plan areas. For Community Service Area 10 Zone 3, an approved plan area, the Department is currently reviewing the transit start-up plan for implementation.
