Commuter Services
The redesigned commuter services streamline access to Downtown Sacramento with four trips departing from the Taylor Road/Sunsplash Park and Ride and three from the Mahany Park and Ride. Both routes are optimized for efficiency by serving key stops on major streets like 12th, G, and I streets, then proceeding to 9th street where the routes connect riders to stops at I, K, Capitol, N, O, and P streets. The Taylor routes serve stops along P street, 7th and 5th streets, and then loop back via N street and 7th to serve the new Richards Blvd Office complex. The Mahany routes will travel via Foothills to Route 80, serving the same stops and ensuring consistency across the service.
This redesigned service focuses on enhancing commuter access to downtown offices and government centers, while integrating the newly developed Richards Blvd area into the route, offering more direct and frequent options for suburban commuters.
Taylor Road/Sunsplash Park and Ride Routes (4 trips):
•Entry into Sacramento via 12th Street, serving stops at G and I Streets.
•Proceed to 9th Street, serving stops at I, K, Capitol, N, O, and P Streets.
•Continue along P Street, 7th and 5th Streets, looping back via N Street and 7th, and ending at Richards Blvd Office complex.
Mahany Park and Ride Routes (3 trips):
•Entry via Foothills to Route 80, mirroring the same stop pattern as the Taylor Road routes.
