🚍 Help Shape CityBus Service!

CityBus is considering changes to improve service reliability, strengthen connections with SMART and Sonoma County Transit, and make the best use of available transit resources.

Earlier community feedback helped shape the proposals now under consideration, and we want to hear from you again.

The proposed changes work together across the CityBus system. That means some routes may see increased service, while others may see reductions. The proposals reflect community feedback, service performance and available funding, with the goal of improving on-time performance and regional transit connections.

💬 Review the proposed changes and share your feedback: https://srcitybus.org/short-range-transit-plan-2/

The Survey is open until Nov. 17, 2026, where a public hearing will be held at the City Council Meeting. City Council.

🚧 Calistoga Road Project Update | Oct. 15, 2026

Work is moving underground! Installation of the water line beneath Austin Creek got underway this week, with crews now digging the bore pit south of Marit Drive.

Traffic controls remain in place as crews work in the center of Calistoga Road. Travel lanes are shifted toward the shoulders, with temporary barriers separating traffic from the work area.

Electrical work also continues and may require temporary sidewalk closures. Detours will be posted when needed.

🚧 Please slow down, follow all traffic controls, and remember: the speed limit through the construction zone is 25 mph.
