Through May 27, students, faculty and staff can get around the county without a car and without the usual expenses of transportation. This entire year the campus community again gets totally free bus rides anywhere, any time, any place that Sonoma County Transit (SCT) buses run. And there are no strings, no tricks, and no hidden costs. All that is needed is a current SSU ID card.
The program is funded by Sonoma County Transit, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (in cooperation with the City of Rohnert Park), and Sonoma State University in an effort to clean the air, reduce traffic and help with some challenges in regard to traffic and parking due to construction projects.
The free rides program does not include rides originating with Santa Rosa City or Petaluma City buses, but is valid with all SCT routes at all times. Riders may go to Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, the Russian River Area, Sebastopol, Guerneville, Monte Rio, Sonoma, Windsor, Forestville and the Sonoma County Airport. Two express routes are in place from Santa Rosa and Sebastopol to and from SSU.
Traveling to San Francisco is easy when riders transfer from Sonoma County Transit to Golden Gate Transit. There's also late night service to and from SSU.
The bus stop at SSU is at the Information Booth near the main entrance to the university. Schedules are available at various locations throughout campus.
