Join us to learn more about RTA's Sustainable Service Plan. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 

The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) is hosting open house meetings in-person and online to share service recommendations, including alignment and frequency changes for routes throughout the service area. Join us at our online or in-person public open house February 1 and 2 to learn more about RTA’s Sustainable Service Plan and provide valuable feedback that will help shape mobility for Riverside County. Visit www.riversidetransit.com/ssp for more information.

Riverside Transit Agency has strived to continue to provide valuable service to the residents and visitors of western Riverside County throughout the pandemic. With the reopening of businesses, return to in-person schooling and popular new fare promotions, RTA is experiencing the highest ridership since the pandemic, but this is still only 60% of pre-pandemic levels. RTA understands that where, when and how people travel has changed over the past two years and this project is an opportunity to realign RTA's service delivery with the mobility needs of the region. The Sustainable Service Plan will examine current routes, unmet travel needs, emerging travel patterns and evolving demands for service. That’s why we want to hear from you about your current travel needs and how RTA can improve to become a convenient option for your daily travel.

    Service animals are always welcome, as required by law. All other pets must be secured in an enclosed carrier to board GoMicro.

It is important to let us know to ensure there is enough room for your bike.
