Types of Service

TCT offers several types of transit service, including fixed-route, flex-route, dial-a-ride, and paratransit service. 

Fixed-Route Service
Fixed-Route Service (Routes 1, 2, 3 & 4) offers regular weekday service between Sonora, Jamestown, Columbia, Twain Harte and Sierra Village. Buses operate Monday thru Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.   A map of the routes is available, or you can pick one up on any bus or at various locations in the community.

The Regular Fixed Route fare is $1.00 for one-way travel within a zone. A 25¢ discount off the regular fare is offered to seniors (55+), youth (2-18 years of age) and persons with disabilities.

Transfers are required for continuing travel across zones and are available for 25¢ for Fixed Route and 50¢ for Dial-A-Ride. Transfers are valid for the next available bus to complete your one-way travel. Layovers are not allowed.

Link your trips together! Bicycling is great fun and wonderful exercise. That's why Tuolumne County Transit offers bicycle rack service on fixed route buses. Space is on a first-come first-served basis, and riders are responsible for loading and unloading their own bicycles.


Flex-Route Service
Flex-Route service (Route 4) is offered on the Tuolumne route. Flex-Route service means that the bus travels along the Tuolumne Route on a regular basis, and that the bus will deviate off the route to pickup passengers who have made prior reservations for pickup (per the conditions below). Requests for pick-up deviations must be made one hour in advance to the transit supervisor by calling 532-0404. All scheduled stops along the deviated routes are estimates and may arrive and depart 5 minutes before or after the scheduled stop time. Due to time constraints, not all deviation requests may be honored. Pick-up times are approximate and may vary. Please ensure you are at the time point or pick-up location within this window. Buses will not return for passengers who were not ready. Route deviations will be offered in areas that do not have Dial A Ride complimentary service only. Please call the transit office at: 532-0404 for more information regarding route deviations.


Dial-A-Ride
Dial-A-Ride offers curbside pickup and dropoff service to disabled persons with and without ADA Certification and persons who are 55 years of age and older. Dial-A-Ride services are also available to the general public within specific service areas. For more information regarding the Dial A Ride service please call the transit office at: 532-0404 or consult the Dial A Ride brochure.


Saturday Service
Saturday Service is available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to the general public within Sonora, Jamestown, Columbia, Twain Harte, Soulsbyville and Standard areas. Saturday Service is provided through a curb-to-curb Dial-A-Ride service, requiring advance reservations. For reservations call 532-0404.
