MOD (Mobility On-Demand by Yuba- Sutter Transit) is a compact, shared transit bus that uses real-time on-demand technology to efficiently connect you to local fixed routes within your service zone. This corner-to-corner zone service ensures easy access to nearby transit hubs, making your journey smoother and more convenient.

When you book with MOD, you’ll get a pick-up time window and directions to a nearby pick-up point through the app, or by text or a phone call. MOD is all about shorter wait time and faster connections to and from nearby transit hubs and destinations.  Additionally, MOD vehicles are safe and accessible, featuring wheelchair access, designated priority seating with securement areas, and a front bike rack, making MOD easy to use.

MOD is designed to provide riders with direct connections to Yuba-Sutter Transit’s local fixed routes, making cross-town travel more convenient. Zones are localized to meet specific transportation needs, and the MOD Ride app provides up-to-date information based on your location. 

Users outside the currently available MOD zones will not be able to see or schedule rides.
