Earn Money Towards A New Bike

We are excited to announce a new program geared to get North Natomas adults ready to ride. Earn-a-Bike provides individuals who live or work in North Natomas with the opportunity to participate in a hands-on bicycle course to earn money towards a new bicycle.

The program is open to those 18 and over looking to use a bicycle to get to work, take their kids to school, visit friends, run errands^aEUR|you name it. This is your chance to swap car trips for bicycle trips. The 14-hour course will cover bicycle-related topics in three main areas: bike maintenance, bike handling, and traffic skills navigation.

Enrollment is limited. Applicants will be selected based on a review of their application by a committee.

Apply Today!
Application window closes August 15th.

The Flyer Shuttle is now ready to accept the Connect Card as fare. Connect Card is the Sacramento region's new transit smart card fare collection system and is managed by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). It provides a convenient and secure way to pay your fare. The system uses a plastic smart card called a Connect Card with a computer chip inside that can store cash value, passes, and discount fares.

What to know about using Connect Card on the Flyer:

  • Get a Connect Card by creating an account online, your card will then be mailed to you. You may also visit a Customer Service Center.
  • You do not have to use the Connect Card. This is simply an easier and more convenient option for riders to manage their Flyer fare.
  • Flyer tickets cannot be uploaded to the Connect Card. Use all your Flyer tickets before switching to the Connect Card.
  • Transit checks can be loaded onto the Connect Card at one of the participating Customer Service Centers. The NNTMA is currently NOT a Customer Service Center.
  • Another question? We've got an answer!

Super Susan

In the beginning, there was traffic congestion, but deep beneath the noxious gases heroes emerged. By riding the Flyer Shuttle, local heroes combat evil smog and protect our air. Commuting downtown on the Flyer saves money and punches out traffic.

We are proud to introduce one of those heroes!

Susan has been a loyal Flyer Shuttle hero for eight years. She has made this her daily work week routine because it saves money on gas and parking. She knows when she is riding the Flyer she can sit back, relax, and not have the stress of driving in commuter traffic each day. For Susan, it has been a win all around, but she especially, "...enjoys meeting her friends on the Flyer."
