Regional Transit
San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) provides intercity, interregional, rural and express transit services throughout San Joaquin County. Passenger rail, bus and bicycles receive 30% of Measure K funding, 49% of which is for bus transit and 5% for BRT Express capital projects. Measure K funds help to promote bus service between cities in San Joaquin County and its unincorporated areas. Measure K provides funding for a variety of transportation modes and capital expenses such as vehicles and passenger amenities. Benefits from this category include transportation equity, commuter option, low- and zero-emissions buses, lower greenhouse gas emissions, better air quality and convenience.
Bus Rapid Transit Express
Using hybrid and all-electric buses, RTD’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Express has fewer stops and more
frequent trips than regular bus service to make it fast and reliable with convenient connections 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.
Ridership for this service in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was 1,453,223.
Hopper (Metro and County)
Measure K partially funds RTD’s Metro and County Hopper deviated fixed routes. Metro Hoppers
serve the City of Stockton. County Hoppers provide service between Stockton, Lodi, Lathrop, Tracy,
Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon. Metro Hoppers can deviate up to one mile from their fixed routes to
accommodate Americans with Disabilities Act-certified passengers in Stockton. County Hoppers can
deviate up to one mile from their fixed routes to accommodate passengers who are unable to get to
destinations in rural San Joaquin County. Reservations are required two days in advance for all
deviations.
Metro Hopper ridership in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was 201,625 and 91,028 for the County
Hopper.
Local (Stockton)
RTD’s Local services serve the Stockton Metropolitan Area (SMA), connecting to RTD’s Express, Hopper,
and Commuter services. Local routes serve the Downtown Transit Center, Mall Transfer Station, Union
Transfer Station, and Hammer Transfer Station.
Ridership in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was 689,502.
San Joaquin Commuter
San Joaquin Commuter coach services to Sacramento and 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 at RTD’s Customer Service Center.
Measure K also helps pay for leases on Park and Ride lots to provide free parking for commuters to connect
with RTD’s Commuter services.
Ridership for this service in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was 38,992.
Van Go! On Demand
Van Go! is a pilot on-demand micro-transit rideshare service that provides services between the City of
Stockton, rural areas, and other cities within San Joaquin County. It is not available for rides within the
City of Stockton. Trips on this accessible and flexible service require advanced reservations and can be
booked via the Van Go! Mobile application or online.
Ridership for this service in Fiscal Year 2023-24 was 24,735.
