Express Transit Offers Seamless Commute for State Workers

Yolobus Offers Multiple Options to Reduce Challenges of Return-to-Office

Woodland, CA (June 24, 2025): As state employees plan for the Return-to-Office mandate to begin on July 1, public transit can support the transition with simple and quick travel options. Yolobus Express Routes get Yolo County residents to downtown Sacramento quickly while reducing traffic, the cost of gas, parking congestion, and vehicle emissions.

Each of these Express Routes offers 3 morning and 3 evening trips:
• Route 43 Central Davis / Sacramento
• Route 230 West Davis / Sacramento
• Route 44 South Davis / Sacramento

The Route 45 Woodland / Sacramento Express Route offers 1 morning and 1 evening trip.

Additionally, the popular Intercity Route 42B travels from Davis to Downtown Sacramento, running every 30 minutes during the morning commute period and stopping in West Sacramento on the way. Davis residents can take the 42A back to Davis after work; this route runs every 30 minutes during the evening commute.

Woodland residents can take Route 42A to downtown Sacramento for the morning commute and catch the 42B back to Woodland after work. Both the 42A and 42B run from 5:00 a.m. until midnight, offering a convenient transit option for those with non-traditional schedules.

Yolo Transportation District Executive Director Autumn Bernstein hopes to spread the word amongst Yolo County residents. She shared, “Yolobus Express Routes go a long way to reduce the stress of RTO. By hopping onboard and relaxing during the commute rather than dealing with the hassles of traffic, parking, and high gas prices, state employees can hop onboard and relax during the commute. Plus, with fewer single-passenger commutes happening, our local air quality improves. It’s a win-win.”

For UC Davis employees who commute from Sacramento, Express Route 43R travels from downtown Sacramento to the university campus with 1 morning trip and 1 evening trip. Yolobus passengers can purchase single-ride fares, monthly passes, and passes that work for both Yolobus and SacRT. More information can be found at Yolobus.com.
