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 2024-25 was 1,319,267.
