In June 2018,  STA was awarded $10.778M through the Transit and Intercity Rail Program (TIRCP) to improve the access, reliability, frequency, integration, and safety of regional transit services throughout and outside Solano County. Two project components were funded in this application. Each component is fully scalable and has various elements of travel integrated into its proposal. Every component of the application is fully integrated into the local transit and active transportation system, with the goal of better integrating to the regional transit system as well. STA seeks to better improve the integration of each of these travel elements into a seamless, safe, and frequent regional transit system.
