Sonoma Valley Route 30 Proposed to End at Santa Rosa Transit Mall for CityBus Transfers

SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. — October 27, 2026. Sonoma County Transit has proposed revising Route 30 serving Sonoma Valley so trips end at Santa Rosa Transit Mall, with transfers to Santa Rosa CityBus Route 1 for onward local travel.

What is proposed or reported

Transit staff say the countywide MASCOTS Phase II plan aims to reduce overlap between operators while improving reliability and transfers. Riders who currently stay on a bus beyond the transit mall may need to transfer if the proposal is eventually adopted.

What residents should verify

The board was receiving public comments October 27, not issuing a verified new passenger timetable. Check accessibility, transfer timing, fares and the final route map before changing transportation plans.
