Updated: May 1, 2020:
Roseville Transit continues to closely monitor federal, state and county requirements to provide safe transit services for passengers traveling to essential destinations.
Ridership is monitored daily. Currently, numbers allow for social distancing on all bus services. Passengers are encouraged to wear face coverings, board at rear doors when possible, and select seats to maintain at least 6 feet of separation.
Fares remain suspended on Local, Dial-A-Ride, and Paratransit services. On Commuter service, the touchless fare system, Connect Card, minimizes proximity between drivers and passengers.
Additionally, we are working on installing clear shields in the driver area as well as hand sanitizer dispensers for passengers.
As the state transitions, additional safety measures will be implemented as recommended by health officials. We continue to monitor usage patterns. If ridership rises such that social distancing becomes a challenge, we will increase capacity by adding additional buses.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns by contacting administrative offices at
(916) 774-5293 or by
email.

Rear door boarding and local fare suspension
To assist with social distancing, all Roseville Transit riders must board and exit through rear bus doors when possible. This measure will help reduce passenger interaction with drivers and fareboxes
Because of rear door boarding, Local, Dial-A-Ride, and Paratransit services are temporarily suspending fare collection until further notice. Commuter service will continue to collect fare since buses only have one door.
The front door will remain available to all riders using mobility devices and those who need the ramp.
If you are using the bike rack, please continue to let the bus driver know before exiting the bus.
Additionally, high-touch areas continue to be sanitized frequently.
Call (916) or (530) 745-7560 or
email us for transit assistance.
Updated March 20, 2020:
Roseville Transit is currently running regular bus service. While the Governor Newsom issued a
stay at home order, public transportation is considered an essential service. The public relies on transit to get to essential jobs, grocery shopping and social services. We are here to provide this vital connection for as long as we can do so safely.
When riding Roseville Transit, please remain respectful of other people by following
current public health guidelines and maintaining a minimum 6 ft. distance. This means that seating capacity on buses is temporarily reduced.
We will continue monitoring and responding as needed to this quickly changing situation and will share any updates with you.

The City of Roseville continues to work closely with Placer County Public Health, the lead agency in our county regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Placer County Public Health is coordinating with Federal, State and local officials for up to date information about the virus and in turn working with local government, healthcare providers, schools and others to ensure the safety of our community.
The most current information about the virus in our area will come from Placer County Public Health on Placer County's social media accounts and their website
placer.ca.gov/coronavirus.
The safety and well-being of Roseville Transit customers is our top priority and we are currently taking the following measures:
- Sanitizing high-touch surfaces daily with EPA-approved disinfectant,
- Regular bus cleaning, and
- Additional cleaning and sanitizing as needed.
In addition to regular cleaning, it’s important to keep in mind that frequently used surfaces—like railings, fare boxes or doors—are only clean until someone touches or coughs/sneezes on them. If we’re to prevent the spread of coronavirus, we need your help.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends these precautions.
