FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YUBA SUTTER TRANSIT OFFERING FREE RIDES
FOR COVID-19 VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS
March 22, 2021, Marysville, CA – In cooperation with the Yuba and Sutter County Public Health Departments, Yuba-Sutter Transit is now offering fare free service to anyone traveling to or from their scheduled COVID-19 vaccination appointment. This offer is good on all services operated by Yuba-Sutter Transit, including Dial-A-Ride, but all service eligibility requirements still apply.
To ride free of charge, passengers must present valid confirmation when boarding the bus of their appointment that day at any COVID-19 vaccination site in Yuba or Sutter Counties. Confirmation may be in the form of an appointment card, email, or text with the passenger’s name and appointment information (date, time, and location). The driver will acknowledge that the confirmation meets the requirement, and that the passenger may continue boarding.
Anyone traveling with a passenger that has a scheduled appointment must provide their own appointment confirmation to qualify for a free fare. This offer is scheduled to end on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, but the program will be re-evaluated at that time to determine if there is still a need for it to continue.
