ALL ABOARD MEMORY LANE!

Yuba-Sutter Transit is seeking historical photographs, personal anecdotes or memorable moments from valued riders and community members. If anyone would like to share some memories with us, please submit your materials via email to Jessica@yubasuttertransit.com. Your contributions will help us preserve and celebrate the rich history of Yuba-Sutter Transit.

New general public monthly pass: $20. Discount pass: $10 for seniors, disabled, and youth.

DEEPLY DISCOUNTED MONTHLY PASSES AVAILABLE FOR ALL LOCAL AND RURAL ROUTE PASSENGERS

Since July 2020, the Basic Monthly Pass, good for unlimited use on any Yuba-Sutter Transit local or rural route, has been available at a discounted rate. The regular price of the Basic Monthly Pass is $40 however, with the applied $20 subsidy funded by the State Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP), the Basic Monthly Pass price is reduced to $20.

As a result, the out-of-pocket price of the Basic Monthly Pass is more comparable to a Discount Monthly Pass for youth (ages 5 through 18), seniors (ages 65 and over) and eligible persons with disabilities, which has been reduced from $20 to just $10 each month. The $10 subsidy for that discount program is funded by the Feather River Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD).

At these deeply discounted prices, the best value by far for most passengers is to purchase a monthly pass as appropriate. No matter the fare category, a monthly pass will pay for itself in just a few days of travel compared to paying in cash.

Monthly passes are available only with a Connect Card electronic fare card. General public Connect Cards are available free of charge from www.ConnectTransitCard.com or any Connect Card sales outlet. Discount photo I.D. Connect Cards for any available discount fares or passes for seniors, youth or persons with disabilities are only available with eligibility verification at the Yuba-Sutter Transit office in Marysville.

Up to three monthly passes can be loaded at any one time on a Connect Card along with up to $360 in cash value if so desired. You can even set up your Connect Card account to auto-load your monthly pass each month or to add cash value when your balance drops to a certain level.

For more information on the discounted bus pass program or how to get your discount photo Connect Card identification card, please contact the Administrative Office by phone at (530) 634-6880 or email us at info@yubasuttertransit.com.
