Help Shape the Future of Highway 65 Commuter Service!

Yuba-Sutter Transit is currently evaluating commuter service along the SR 65 corridor between Marysville and the Lincoln/Roseville area with potential stops in Olivehurst and Wheatland.

To better understand transportation needs between these communities, Yuba-Sutter Transit is gathering input from potential riders who may use this service.

Take the survey and provide feedback on travel times, frequencies and potential Saturday service to help decision makers create a schedule that best meets community needs.

Visit surveymonkey.com/r/2PPFG2R or yubasuttertransit.com to take the Highway 65 Commuter Service survey.

The 2026 Yuba-Sutter Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair Returns August 20th - 22nd 

The annual Yuba-Sutter Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair will take place at the Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds from Thursday, August 20th, through Saturday, August 22nd, beginning at 9:00 a.m. each day.

This event connects veterans, active-duty service members, and their families with goods, services, and community resources, including counseling, employment support, recovery providers, medical care, therapy, housing assistance, and more.

Service Animal Policy

To help ensure the health and safety of all passengers and bus drivers, Yuba-Sutter Transit adopted a policy in 2017 that all dogs transported on the service must be vaccinated, licensed, and wearing proper tags pursuant to State Law and local ordinances. This provision of Yuba-Sutter Transit’s Service Animal and Pet Policy applies whether the dog is a service animal or not.

California law and local ordinances require that all dogs be vaccinated for rabies by the age of four months. Local ordinances further require that, by the same age, they be licensed and wear the proper identification tags at all times in public as proof of licensing. Depending on the jurisdiction, violation of these provisions is an infraction punishable by a fine of up to $500 per dog, per incident.

Even properly licensed animals are still prohibited from all Yuba-Sutter Transit buses with two exceptions: 1) It is a guide, service, or signal dog that has been specially trained to assist persons with disabilities and is under the effective control of the person transporting it; or, 2) It is in a completely enclosed and secured cage or carrying case and small enough to fit on the person’s lap. In either case, it must not pose a health or safety concern for other passengers.

As a reminder, service animals are defined as those that are specifically trained to work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities, including guiding those with impaired vision, alerting those with impaired hearing to sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or retrieving dropped items. The Federal Department of Transportation regulations do not recognize companion, therapy, or comfort animals as service animals. If unsure that a dog performs a service function, the bus driver may ask the passenger what tasks the animal has been trained to perform. Service animals are not required to have a special certificate or license, nor wear any special identifying vest or tag other than what is required while in public as proof of vaccination and licensing.

Yuba-Sutter Transit’s service animal policy is included as part of our Passenger Policies & Procedures that are available in both English and Spanish translations. To view the full service animal policy, visit the Customer Services tab on our website at Yuba-Sutter Transit Passenger Policies & Procedures - Yuba-Sutter Transit.
