P 28 p Solano Transportation Authority Ch3: Existing Conditions/Transportation Inventory SolTrans CMYK 73C 0M 100Y 24K 0C 33M 100Y 0K 0C 51M 100Y 2K SolTrans serves Benicia and Vallejo. At the time when community input was collected, SolTrans operated nine local fixed routes and three intercity SolanoExpress routes. Most routes operated Monday-Saturday. There was limited Sunday service. All the local routes served within Vallejo while Rt. 20 connected Vallejo and Benicia. Transit hubs, major activity centers, and neighborhoods were served by SolTrans local transit. Major transit hubs included the downtown Vallejo Transit Center (VTC), Sereno Transit Center and the Curtola Park and Ride. A general public dial-a-ride was offered within Benicia city limits. Local fares were discounted for older adults and people with disabilities. There were often promotions for special events and further fare reductions. The VTC and Curtola PNR were key stops of SolanoExpress bus routes. At the time Vallejo community outreach was collected, there were three SolanoExpress routes operated by SolTrans. Rt. 80 connected Vallejo and El Cerrito del Norte BART station seven days a week; Rt. 85 connected Vallejo to Fairfield Monday through Saturday. These two routes were combined in June 2019 to become the Red Line which also extended service to Suisun City. The Rt. 78 (or the Yellow Line as of July 2018) connected Vallejo, Benicia and the Walnut BART station seven days a week. Rt. 82 connects Vallejo to San Francisco with one roundtrip a day. SolTrans operates an ADA paratransit local and intercity paratransit service which operates the same days/hours as fixed route transit. A local subsidized (50%) taxi program was established for older adults, people with disabilities and Medicare cardholders living in Benicia and Vallejo. SolTrans participates in the ADA intercity subsidized taxi program managed by the STA. Taxi service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Figure 7 SolTrans map
