From ksouza at yctd.org Fri Oct 20 10:48:44 2006 From: ksouza at yctd.org (Kathy Souza) Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2006 10:48:44 -0700 Subject: [Yolobus Public Announcement] Yolobus Events honoring Senior Safe Mobility Week Message-ID: Yolobus Public Service Announcement YOLOBUS To Give Free Rides to Seniors on October 24th! YOLOBUS has announced that seniors age 62 and over may ride both YOLOBUS and YOLOBUS Special for FREE on Tuesday, October 24th. Governor Schwarzenegger has declared October 22-28th as "Senior Safe Mobility Week." As part of that program, activists in the region have suggested that transit operators invite seniors to ride their systems for free, as a way of motivating safe mobility, especially by seniors who are no longer able to drive. The Yolo County Transportation District Board of Directors recently authorized free YOLOBUS rides to Seniors on Tuesday, October 24th. This opportunity applies to YOLOBUS Special also, which is curb-to-curb service for eligible elderly who have disabilities and can't ride fixed route buses. YOLOBUS operates over 4,500 miles each weekday, so there are lots of trips seniors will have the opportunity to take. This includes: Route Community Total Bus Trips 42 Woodland, Davis, West Sacramento, Sac International Airport, Downtown Sacramento 39 loops (half in clockwise direction, half in counter-clockwise direction) 35 Southport/ West Sacramento Transit Center 12 loops 39 Commute service from Southport / Bridgeway Island to downtown Sacramento 4 morning trips 4 afternoon trips 40 Downtown Sacramento/West Sacramento Local, including IKEA 17 1/2 loops 41 Downtown Sacramento/West Sacramento Local, including IKEA 14 1/2 loops 240 Downtown Sacramento to West Capitol Avenue in West Sacramento, to Harbor Boulevard, to IKEA, to new Social Security Offices on Stillwater 14 loops 241 Commute hour service from downtown Sacramento and West Sacramento to West Sacramento's Industrial Boulevard and Enterprise 2 morning trips 2 afternoon trips 210 Woodland Local 12 loops 211 Woodland Local 14 loops 242 Commute Service from Woodland to UCD 1 southbound 1 northbound 215 Woodland, Madison, Esparto, Capay, Brooks, Cache Creek Casino 11 westbound 11 eastbound 216 Dunnigan, Yolo, Woodland (Mondays & Thursdays) 1 northbound 1 southbound 217 Knights Landing, Woodland (Tuesdays & Fridays) 1 northbound 1 southbound 43 Express Davis to Sacramento 4 eastbound 4 westbound 43 Reverse Express Sacramento to Davis 1 eastbound 1 westbound 44 Express Davis to Sacramento 3 eastbound 3 westbound 230 Express Davis to Sacramento 3 eastbound 3 westbound 231 Express Sacramento to Davis 1 westbound 232 Express Davis to Sacramento 1 eastbound 1 westbound 45 Express Woodland to Sacramento 4 eastbound 4 westbound 22 Routes Total 216 trips weekdays Because Dunnigan and Yolo have YOLOBUS service only on Mondays and Thursdays, the free rides to Seniors for those residents will be provided on Thursday, October 26th.
