New Electric Buses Deployed on Rohnert Park & Cotati Local Routes 10, 12 & 14

Last Updated: 5:25 pm —

This alert affects the following: Route 10, Route-12, Route-14

Two new electric buses have recently been added to the Sonoma County Transit fleet.  The new 30′ coaches are presently deployed on Rohnert Park & Cotati local routes 10, 12 & 14. Through June 30th, routes 10, 12 & 14 are included in Sonoma County Transit’s Fare-Free program, providing free rides for all passengers.

Three additional 30′ electric coaches are expected to arrive in summer 2022. The 2022 buses will be equipped with inductive charging capabilities that allow for enroute charging and extended operating range, permitting their use on local routes in Windsor, Healdsburg and Cloverdale.

Sonoma County Transit’s use of low-emission buses dates back to 1995 when its first natural gas powered fleet was placed into service. Today, with the exception of its three electric buses, all 30′ & 40′ coaches are powered by natural gas.  The transition to a zero-emission, all-electric fleet will occur over the next fifteen to twenty years.

Passenger Notice: Facial Coverings Required

Last Updated: 6:15 am — April 20, 2020

This alert affects the following: All Routes

On April, 13, 2020, the Sonoma County Health Officer issued Order C19-07 (effective Friday, April 17), that states that persons shall wear facial coverings in the following situations:

Before they enter any indoor facility besides their residence. Examples: grocery stores, laundromats/drycleaners, work facilities, post office, etc.

In any enclosed open space. Examples: outdoor work sites, construction sites, taxis/rideshares, or buses.

When outdoors if the person is unable to maintain a six-foot distance from another person at all times. Examples: Farmer’s market, pumping gas, drive thru/delivery/carry out/curbside pickup, etc.

All Sonoma County Transit and Sonoma County Paratransit passengers will be required to wear a face covering in order to comply with Health Officer Order C19-07.  As provided by the Order, a governmental entity, business owner, or operator may, to the extent authorized by law, refuse admission or service to any customer or visitor who fails to wear facial coverings. Compliance is necessary to protect the health and safety of drivers and passengers.

“Facial coverings” means any fabric or cloth that covers the mouth and nose. The facial covering can be made using household items (including scarves, bandanas, t-shirts, sweatshirts, towels, turtlenecks, or other fabric), can be sewn by hand, or factory-made.  Facial coverings should not be placed on children under age 2 or on anyone who has trouble breathing or is otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
