SacRT Service Recovery Plan Restores Service to pre-COVID-19 Levels

Effective Sunday, August 30, 2020, SacRT implemented its service recovery plan, including light rail (Blue and Gold lines), bus (routes 1 through 93) all peak-only/express (routes 102, 106, 107, 109, 113, 129, 134, 161 and 193), and Folsom Stage Line (routes 10F and 30F). SacRT also made some adjustments to several bus routes to improve on-time performance. SacRT and Yolobus will continue to monitor ridership on the Causeway Connection (route 138) and may add additional trips in late September.

Due to low ridership, SacRT continues to suspend service on the Airport Express (route 142), the 200 series routes and Folsom Stage Line route 20F.

Jibe Express reduced service to match current ridership demand: Based on a ridership survey, starting September 1, Jibe Express reduced service to match current ridership demand. Visit jibe.org to review the new and current schedules with interactive map and timetable listings.

SacRT's service recovery plan is an integral part of supporting the region as it reopens by adding more service to ensure people can safely travel to essential destinations. Similar to other businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on SacRT employees (i.e., school and childcare dilemmas, and health related matters) possibly resulting in manpower shortages, which may cause temporary service adjustments with little or no notice.

We encourage customers to check the Service Alerts page at the top of sacrt.com/alerts.

Please know that SacRT is doing everything possible to keep its employees and customers safe and healthy to ensure minimal impacts to service during these unpredictable times. To learn more about SacRT's best safety practices and other prevention guidance, visit sacrt.com/covid19.
