Regional Transit
The San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) provides intercity, interregional, rural and express transit services throughout San Joaquin County. Measure K funds go toward those services. Capital expenses such as buses and other vehicles and transit centers, and some bus operations are eligible for Measure K funds. Benefits from this category include transportation equity, commuter option, low- and zero-emissions buses, lower greenhouse gas emissions, better air quality, and rider convenience.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Express
Using hybrid and all-electric buses, RTD’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Express has fewer stops and more trips than regular bus service to make it fast, reliable, and convenient for riders throughout Stockton. RTD launched the service in 2007 and BRT Express has become a critical part of building a better transportation system for Stockton. The routes now cover the key corridors along Pacific Avenue, Hammer Lane, Airport Way, Midtown Stockton, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, RTD’s BRT service had nearly 1.54 million riders.
Hopper (Metro and County)
Measure K funds also go to RTD’s Metro Hopper and County Hopper to provide fixed-route services in Stockton and connecting Stockton, Tracy, Lodi, Manteca, Ripon, Lathrop and Escalon. The Hoppers can divert up to one mile from their fixed routes to accommodate Americans with Disabilities Act-certified passengers in Stockton and passengers otherwise unable to get to destinations in rural San Joaquin County. Reservations are required two days in advance for all deviations. In 2022-23, Metro Hopper had 149,380 riders and County Hopper had 44,420.
Local (Stockton)
RTD Local serves the Stockton Metropolitan Area by connecting RTD’s Express, Intercity, Hopper, and Commuter services. Local routes serve the Downtown Transit Center, and RTD’s Mall, Hammer and Union transfer stations. There were 452,854 riders in 2022-23.
San Joaquin Commuter
San Joaquin Commuter coach services to Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area provide a convenient, affordable alternative for commuters. The fare is $7 each way and tickets can be purchased conveniently from SJCOG’s Vamos Mobility App with ticketing by EZHub, or from the driver. Measure K also pays for free parking for commuters using RTD’s San Joaquin Commuter. There were 36,345 riders for this service in 2022-23.
Van Go! On Demand
RTD’s Van Go! provides on-demand service to rural and unincorporated areas that are not served by RTD’s fixed routes. Trips throughout San Joaquin County on this accessible and flexible service can be booked via the Van Go! mobile application or online. There were 32,154 riders in 2022-23.
