Kings' Games Shuttle Service Survey

Traveling to the new Golden 1 Center will be a whole new ball game now that it’s located in downtown instead of our own backyard. While parking will be available, it’s still not clear how much those rates will be and how easy those spots will be to access. The NNTMA is working to determine interest, cost and feasibility for a shuttle service to the Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento for Kings' home games.

Please take a moment to complete the following survey to weigh in on this topic. We appreciate your time and thank you for answering these questions.

We’ve Got Your Spot

This just in: your mornings are about to get a whole lot happier. Gone are the days of fighting traffic and “the crazies” on your commute downtown because we’ve got your spot to a calmer commute! Enjoy a chaos-free ride on one of our Flyer Shuttles without ever spilling your coffee, hyperventilating in stop and go traffic, or arriving late to work because your normal parking garage was full before 8:30 a.m.

P.S. Taking the Flyer is also a great way to save money and to meet your neighbors! Go here for routes and ticket info. 

Spare the Air Days = A Free Ride

Sacramento summer days can be too hot to handle sometimes, knowing when the air quality is in the red can be vital. We strongly urge you to sign up for Spare the Air Day alerts, announced when the Air Quality Index (AQI) for ground-level ozone pollution is forecasted to reach 126 or above. On these days, stay inside whenever possible and definitely leave the car at home. If you live in North Natomas, we make it even easier to use alternative transportation. The Flyer Shuttle to downtown is always free on Spare the Air Days.

Sign up now to stay the loop!

Park & Ride & Smile

Did you know that two North Natomas public transportation routes are accessible by Park-n-Ride parking spots? It’s true! Our very own Eastside Flyer Shuttle and RT’s Route 11 have parking spots dedicated to bus goers just like you so you can save time, money and sanity.

These spots are located in front of Ross Dress for Less, at the southbound Truxel Road & Gateway Park Boulevard bus stop. For more information, email info@nntma.org.

Alert: Flyer Shuttle Replacements on Hot Days

Due to ongoing AC maintenance issues, Flyer Shuttles will be replaced intermittently with big RT buses and small RT community shuttles. Be alert to the displayed route names on approaching vehicles. 

Please contact RT dispatch for any questions at (916) 556-0259.
