Plumas Lake Park and Ride Lot to Open Thursday, October 1st

September 28, 2009

The new Plumas Lake Park & Ride Lot will officially open for service at 5:47 a.m. on Thursday, October 1st when the first Yuba-Sutter Transit commuter bus is scheduled to depart for downtown Sacramento. The 178 space lot, located at the corner of Feather River Boulevard and Chalice Creek Drive just east of the Highway 70 stop light, is owned and operated by Yuba County.

Yuba-Sutter Transit will initially offer four morning and four afternoon schedules between the Plumas Lake Park & Ride Lot and downtown Sacramento, but the facility will also be available for use by carpools and vanpools as well. Plumas Lake residents, along with those from Wheatland and the surrounding rural areas, now travel south to East Nicolaus or north to the McGowan Park & Ride to catch a bus.

With the new lot, route and schedule changes to Yuba-Sutter Transit's Sacramento Commuter and Midday service will also become effective on October 1st. All new service brochures are now available on all commuter buses, on the web at www.yubasuttertransit.com or call (530) 634-6880 to get one by mail or e-mail.

To mark the opening of the new facility, Yuba-Sutter Transit staff will be at the Plumas Lake Park & Ride Lot on October 1st with new service brochures, donuts and orange juice (while they last) for those that board one of our commuter buses from this new stop.

Call Keith Martin or Dawna Dutra at (530) 634-6880 for more information.
