Petaluma Transit School Tripper Services (Routes 301, 302, 303, 311, 312, & 501) will not operate on Monday, October 28, or Tuesday, October 29, due to the school closures and the ongoing support of the county's ongoing emergency operations in response to the threat of the Kincade Fire.

Petaluma Transit Routes 2, 11, 3, 33, 10, & 24 will continue to provide regular weekday service free of charge. Paratransit Services also continue to operate during the normal business hours. Limited transit services are also available as needed to transport riders from the Evacuation Centers to facilities with showers.

Sonoma Water Agency water production facilities have been switched to emergency generator power. For this reason, we ask that all Petaluma residents, businesses, and visitors limit water use until further notice. We will keep you posted as this situation unfolds.
