Route 29, Sonoma County Transit’s seasonal coast route, began Saturday, June 8th and will continue on weekends through September 1st.

Route 29 operates two segments:

Route 29A originates at Coddingtown, then serves the Santa Rosa Transit Mall, the Sebastopol Downtown Transit Hub, town of Bodega, Doran Park and The Tides. See schedule Route 29A for bus stop locations. http://sctransit.com/maps-schedules/route-29a/

Route 29B originates in Guerneville and then serves Monte Rio, Duncans Mills, Jenner, Portuguese Beach, Salmon Creek, The Tides and Doran Park. See schedule for Route 29B bus stop locations. http://sctransit.com/maps-schedules/route-29b/

For trip planning assistance, please contract Sonoma County Transit information at 707-576-7433.

Passengers boarding westbound Route 20 trips on weekdays between Rio Nido and downtown Guerneville can now ride Fare-Free. Upon boarding at a Route 20 Fare-Free labeled bus stop, ask your driver for a return ticket. When boarding a return eastbound Route 20 trip, use your ticket as your fare payment. Return tickets are good for eastbound travel as far as Rio Nido.

This change is an expansion of the local Route 28’s Fare-Free program and extends local Fare-Free trips to Rio Nio riders traveling to and from Guerneville and Monte Rio. Like the Route 28, the Route 20 local Fare-Free program applies to weekday trips only.

Enjoy Summer Nights on the Green without the parking worries.  Park at the Windsor High School or the Windsor Middle School and take a direct shuttle to the Town Green.  With the exception of July, 4, shuttle buses will serve the two off-site parking areas on Thursday evenings through September 5th.  The shuttles begin operation at the schools at 5:00pm and operate every 15 minutes until 8:45pm.

Enjoy the Tuesday Night Market at the Sonoma Plaza without the parking worry.  You can now park at the Adele Harrison Middle School and take the new Route 32x Free Shuttle directly to the Sonoma Plaza. With the exception of July, 2, the new Shuttle will operate on Tuesday evenings through August 6.  The Shuttle operates every 15 minutes starting at 5:00pm. The last Shuttle leaves the Plaza at 8:30pm.

This detour affects the Sonoma Plaza stop on Tuesday evenings during the summer:

Route 30 will stop at the Sonoma Plaza on W. Napa St. just west of the bell.  The stop at the Post Office will not be served when the detour is in place.

Routes 40/53 will stop at the Sonoma Plaza on W. Napa St. just west of the bell.  The stop at the Post Office will not be served when the detour is in place.

Route 55 now provides more frequent service between the Airport Blvd. SMART station and Sonoma County Airport. The route has been expanded to serve the Windsor Depot and provide new access to the Airport and the Airport Blvd. SMART station from the Windsor Town Green area.

When boarding from the Airport Blvd. SMART station, all Route 55 trips depart from the bus stop in front of the SMART parking lot.  Route 55 operates on weekdays only.

Route 60 passengers traveling to the Airport, or the Airport Blvd. SMART station, should transfer to the Route 55 at the Windsor Depot.

Due to road conditions from flooding earlier this year, Route 28 service to Duncans Mills is suspended until further notice.
