Petaluma Transit
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Bus transit
Petaluma Transit is the public bus service in the city of Petaluma, California. It operates six local routes and three school routes.[1] Petaluma Paratransit provides ADA-mandated paratransit for eligible persons within Petaluma city limits.[2]
History
The city of Petaluma hired MV Transportation to operate fixed-route bus service in 2000, and MV took over the operation of paratransit service in 2011. MV Transportation's contract renewal in 2018 was scrutinized after a December 2016 incident involving a Petaluma Transit bus, where a pedestrian was hit and seriously injured.[3]
All bus and paratransit service became free for a one-year trial period effective July 1, 2024.[4] It was the first Bay Area transit agency to eliminate fares, and the second California agency to eliminate fares after Commerce Transit. Previously, fares covered less than 10% of operations costs.[5]
