ATTENTION: Proposed Microtransit Service Change

The Tulare County Regional Transit Agency (TCRTA) is proposing changes to its on-demand microtransit service.

In anticipation of the City of Visalia deploying its own microtransit service, TCRTA proposes discontinuing its service of providing intra-city trips in the Visalia zone. For Inter-city trips to and from the City of Visalia, riders will continue to be dropped off and picked up from their destination. Going forward, TCRTA will collaborate with its partners on microtransit inter-city trip policy and protocols.

TCRTA is also proposing changes to microtransit pick-up times from 30 minutes in all areas to a market-based approach where pick-up times are determined by availability with the rider determining whether to accept the ride as they see fit. Targeted average pick-up times for urban areas are proposed to be under 30 minutes, and rural areas under one hour. 

Members of the public are encouraged to comment. A Public Hearing for final comments will be held at the TCRTA Board Meeting scheduled for Monday, November 18, 2024, at 4:00 pm. The hearing will be held in the TCRTA Conference Room located at 200 E. Center Ave., Visalia, CA 93291.
