Small Changes to Shuttle Service Please be aware that, starting April 2nd, minor adjustments will be made to three of the current downtown stop locations and one Natomas route. The downtown changes include shifting the location of each bus stop about a half a block from the current position due to safety concerns. The stop changes are as follows:
S/W corner of J & 4th Streets changes to S/E corner of J & 3rd Streets at the RT Stop All other downtown stops will REMAIN THE SAME. We have also adjusted the first Eastside loop, scooting it up a few minutes to ensure everyone gets to their destination on time. This change will go into effect on April 2nd as well. Please make sure to look at the latest schedule and map, both of which are posted online now. |

Cycling Clinics Around the Bend So you are the proud owner of a rebate-inspired new bike… congratulations! A required next step if you are a lucky award recipient is our Cycling Clinic. The Clinics are also open to the public and anyone is welcome to join us. The clinic will refresh you on the rules of the road and answer any questions you may have about negotiating traffic and basic bike repair. You only have to attend one session and feel free to bring a friend. Classes are held in the evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the North Natomas Library’s Community Room on April 19th and May 8th. Just pick a date and we’ll see you there! |

Shuttle Up Natomas March whizzed by in a bus-tastic blur for us and residents as, together, we celebrated our new Natomas Flyer commuter service. In the “Shuttle Up Natomas” campaign, dozens of residents brought their appetites to the free St. Patrick’s Day pre-celebration breakfast where commuters and friends chowed down on food from two local food trucks, Mama Kim's and Wicked'Wich. Later, Flyer enthusiasts participated in the St. Patty’s parade in Old Sac where our new CNG-fueled shuttle served as eco-friendly float. If you missed all of that hubbub, hopefully you got your hands on a handy door knob hanger, or Flyer Shuttle travel mug, or maybe you have seen one of our crisp new light pole banners, all designed to give a “hip, hip hooray!” for our improved fleet. |

Social Media Mania When you’re not chatting with your shuttle mate on the commute Downtown or pedaling in person with your neighbors, you can now connect with them and us on several social media sites!
