Public Workshop for Future Transit Planning

Jan 15
3 min read

Tuolumne County Transit Agency (TCTA) is updating two key planning documents that guide where transit goes next in our community: the 2025–2030 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and the Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan).

These plans help TCTA evaluate what’s working today, identify what needs improvement, and map out practical steps to better serve residents over the next several years. Most importantly, they’re meant to reflect the real needs of people who use transit today and the people who want to use it in the future.

That’s why we’re inviting the public to participate in a Public Workshop to hear project updates and share your feedback on potential future service options.

Why are we updating these plans?

Transit doesn’t stand still—communities grow and change, travel patterns shift, and the needs of riders evolve. Updating the SRTP and Coordinated Plan is a way to make sure TCTA is planning responsibly for the next five years by:

  • Checking how current services are performing and where gaps may exist

  • Identifying community priorities for improvements and new options

  • Coordinating transportation for seniors, people with disabilities, low-income residents, and other community members who may rely on transportation support services

  • Building a clear roadmap for service improvements, partnerships, and future funding opportunities

In other words, these plans help ensure we’re making decisions based on data, community input, and real-world needs, so we can deliver the best possible service with the resources available.

What we’ve done so far

To get to this point, the planning effort has focused on listening and learning. This includes reviewing service and operational information, identifying trends in ridership and travel demand, and gathering input from the public and community partners.

We’ve also been working to understand where improvements would make the most significant difference, whether that’s reliability, coverage, access to key destinations, or service options that better fit different trip needs.

Now we’re at a critical stage: sharing what we’ve learned and getting your input on the service options under consideration.

What service options are being discussed?

As part of the planning process, the SRTP and Coordinated Plan have identified several potential future options for transit service in Tuolumne County, including:

  • New bus routes

  • Dial-a-Ride improvements

  • On-demand service

  • Intercounty connections

At the workshop, we’ll review these concepts and ask for your feedback. What would help most? What concerns you may have, and what ideas you’d like us to explore.

You’re invited: Public Workshop details.

Date: Thursday, January 29, 2026


Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM


Location: Tuolumne County Library, 480 Greenley Road, Sonora, CA 95370


Parking: Available at the library


ADA Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible with ground-floor entry


Bus Access: TCT Route 1 stops at the library at 5:25 PM. Dial-a-Ride is also available.


Getting there is easy (and free!)

To make participation as simple as possible, you can use fixed route or Dial-a-Ride to attend the workshop, and both are free to ride. If you’ve never taken transit before, this is an excellent opportunity to try it and share your experience.


Why your input matters

Planning works best when it’s grounded in the lived experience of the community:

  • If you ride regularly, you know where service is strong and where it can be improved.

  • If you don’t ride today, your perspective helps us understand the barriers, such as schedules, access, or trip needs that aren't currently being met.

  • If you’re a caregiver, service provider, or someone supporting clients, your insight can help improve coordination and access for people who depend on transportation options.

Even small feedback—like “I need a better connection to medical appointments” or “a route to this destination would change everything”—can help shape the priorities in these plans.

It’s encouraging to see the community being invited to take part in discussions about the future of public transportation. Public feedback is essential for creating transit services that are practical, accessible, and responsive to local needs. I also came across Kolkata Fatafat while exploring different topics online, which was an interesting discovery.

Me parece útil tener una fuente donde consultar resultados sin complicaciones. La lotería de New York Win 4 puede revisarse después de la edición nocturna para comprobar la combinación. Identificar correctamente la fecha ayuda a mantener la información organizada y evita comparar números pertenecientes a diferentes jornadas.

늦은 시간대에 가능한 일자리를 찾는 분들이 참고할 만한 선택지가 다양하다는 점이 좋습니다. 낮에 다른 활동을 하는 사람도 일정 밤알바 관리를 할 수 있으며, 근무 조건을 사전에 확인하면 보다 편리하게 계획할 수 있습니다.

하루 일과가 끝난 뒤 이동하지 않고 바로 편안한 시간을 가질 수 있다는 점이 인상적이었습니다. 시간과 장소를 일정 관리가 편리하고, 외출 준비나 이동에 출장마사지 대한 부담 없이 휴식에 집중하고 싶은 경우 유용하게 이용할 수 있다는 장점이 있습니다.

I like how a stylish writing generator can turn basic words into something more eye-catching. It gives users an easy way to personalize profiles, captions, and messages without spending time searching through traditional fonts. The variety of available designs makes it useful for anyone who enjoys creative online expression.
