SolTrans will assume operation of the SolanoExpress Blue Line starting Aug. 8, 2022.
In the fall of 2021, Solano Transportation Authority (STA) decided to consolidate the SolanoExpress Lines to be operated by one agency. SolTrans, who is the current operator of the Green, Red and Yellow Lines will become the single operator of all four SolanoExpress Lines. The Blue Line is the final SolanoExpress service to transition from Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST).
A temporarily reduced schedule will be in place for the Blue Line beginning Aug. 8. The full Blue Line schedules will begin operations Sept. 19, 2022. The temporary reduction is due to production delays on the new buses needed to provide the service.
The transition brings a new bus fleet, new management, new staff and new uniforms to the Blue Line.
SolTrans passengers will have access to:
- Real-time bus information and real-time service alerts through the various technologies SolTrans offers like: SolTrans.org, Transit App, Moovit App and 511.org.
- Token Transit App for mobile fare purchases.
- Passengers can continue to use paper and Clipper passes on the Blue Line.
The Blue Line Schedule and more information about the August service change will be available after June 20, 2022.
