Rich Frost, transit operations supervisor for the City of Roseville, said the commuter revisions will provide more direct routing to downtown Sacramento, add a new stop at the Valley State Office Complex off Richards Boulevard, and reduce redundant in-city stops to shorten travel time. Frost said the route changes are intended to improve travel time and reliability for commuters and follow prior approvals by the commission and the city council.

Frost also updated the commission on RapidLink, the planned regional route that will connect Lincoln to the I-80 light-rail station. He said vehicle delivery delays have pushed the current target for regional service to late summer or early fall 2025. Frost described ongoing work on later COA phases that will add zonal structure to the city’s paratransit (Dial-a-Ride/ADA) service and streamline local routes; he emphasized outreach and rider education ahead of future changes.

On contractor procurement, Frost said staff recommended that MB Transportation, the incumbent operator, continue to run Roseville’s bus operations. Contract negotiations were underway and staff planned to present a signed agreement to the city council for final approval on or around April 16. Frost told commissioners the recommended contract is a five-year agreement with options potentially extending to an additional five years.

Frost and other staff provided equipment updates: the city has 12 electric paratransit vans on order with added battery capacity expected to arrive by summer; five commuter electric buses have been procured with two onsite, two in transit and a fifth expected by month’s end. Frost said staff are coordinating marketing and one-on-one outreach with vulnerable rider populations to support service transitions. No commission action was required at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting of March 19, 2025 - City of Roseville, CA","oneSentenceSummary","Roseville Transit staff said commuter service enhancements will begin April 21 and that staff recommended retaining MB Transportation as the agency’s operations contractor, with final council approval pending.","taxTitle","Roseville, Placer County, California","taxId",3668,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6631094,"Placer County outlines short-range transit plan to integrate South Placer services",847,631000,1478000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2682375-6b30695880d92f010c50ea4e30d8b374&start=631&end=1478","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2682375-6b30695880d92f010c50ea4e30d8b374/thumbnail_631000.jpg","/articles/6631094/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Placer-County-outlines-short-range-transit-plan-to-integrate-South-Placer-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6631094-f3c92f13c53a80dcd19e6bce393e5007/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442839&Signature=gJTAxAY12ChRn9BC2jEsQS9MaQNO30CC0gT4z3~R7qQAzyJ65dm~Ywln8aPFDA9REToiwO9kMCsH7Obe5ioQDaxf~6P21kxn2-S8wgayUQeAAwScC3PZeUI6E7soL~oHFNVcD1zfjqYASqVnUYWHA1mXTi22fwpVRtcpEL0YnZUFoznv4c0TEARgXssJowZF7ngPndIai0fClKekcpi8~oRNWKoYZIWDgvSoUWN4Fm7MfLMrMVynPkjXX2N8xCaBkAF5iWXHkr8niEZ~WD--F5cUZ8bOBoOgx20DjdT3tuIIXa~MrY9~XAnmEOM5umKDp7P2-a7XrEe32bWA3J6iaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Placer County Transportation Planning Agency officials presented an overview of a short-range transit plan intended to integrate services across the South Placer region, including Roseville Transit, Placer County Transit and Auburn Transit. The plan aims to coordinate schedules, fares and branding and to streamline trip-making for riders across jurisdictions.

Mike Costa, principal transportation planner with the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, told the commission the short-range plan will translate previous comprehensive operational analyses into actionable service changes over the next five years and is expected to be finalized in summer 2025. He said the plan focuses on network coordination (fares, marketing and signage), schedule alignment, ADA procedures and capital needs such as vehicle and facility electrification.

Costa provided preliminary estimates: an increase of roughly $175,000 annually for Placer County and Auburn Transit services, projected to yield about 34,000 additional boardings a year; and roughly $1 million in additional annual operating cost for Roseville Transit service with an estimated 95,000 additional boardings. He emphasized these are high-level estimates that will be refined during the short-range planning process. Costa also noted preliminary five-year capital needs identified in the region, including about $19.1 million for Roseville and roughly $39–40 million for the other operators; all figures are subject to refinement.

The PCTPA is conducting public outreach; a survey is live through March 26 and a project website and fact sheet have been posted. Costa encouraged residents to complete the survey to inform fare-integration and other policy decisions. Commissioners and members of the public asked about comparable regional models; Costa cited the Northwest Connector and other regional examples and said PCTPA is studying these models. No action was required of the commission on this informational item.","Placer County Transportation Planning Agency presented a short-range transit plan aiming to coordinate services across Roseville, Auburn and other South Placer jurisdictions, with outreach and a survey open through March 26 and preliminary cost estimates for operations and capital needs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6631098,"Roseville Transportation Commission approves Nov. minutes, elects 2025 chair and vice chair",563,192000,755000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2682375-6b30695880d92f010c50ea4e30d8b374&start=192&end=755","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2682375-6b30695880d92f010c50ea4e30d8b374/thumbnail_192000.jpg","/articles/6631098/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-Transportation-Commission-approves-Nov-minutes-elects-2025-chair-and-vice-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6631098-89a07bb57cf1be9ef7f4c64eee3785a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442839&Signature=H9Qkm0RrLsIFjxQDzHlDd5~Bcj745cRbxpNbOhqcyiKmMftHrPs6D4s3~SjJrGjE3lmqfz1lsLAkKSWaK1hdqxi-01rA4Lw43k4-~dbz3wEzF4ASf8VxxQS8XezkPYw4djsSF21DCrEPlpqnyKcWBdHeb3hFvWgpmEPFf5yLuarrPcJUDCL6PLRJBeXUq3aEYLN7fMjLFHZdU3VrMs96wVlhq7yvUiui68LR6f~7NcDRQ-2sPNjK8OxsYLMc51X4CXeg2P52zNnWwEKGB2fKDYGn7d0~29WkD2GB6Gh2wm0OWiHqMn4zdSomRTgl9ZancfMWp87xRBxNnJYnlCFUjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Roseville Transportation Commission approved the Nov. 19, 2024 meeting minutes and unanimously elected Commissioner Pell as chair and Commissioner Probst as vice chair for 2025.

Rebecca Espenshade, the city’s Safe Routes to School coordinator, said Roseville has had school crossing guards for more than 10 years and currently staffs guards at 17 school crossings that serve three school districts: Roseville City School District, Dry Creek Joint Unified School District and Eureka Union School District. She described factors used to set guard locations — school level (elementary, middle, high), pedestrian and vehicle counts, collision history, control type (signal/stop/uncontrolled), speed limit and proximity to the school — and said guards receive training on hire and annually before each school year. The city supplies equipment including LED stop paddles and reflective vests.

Espenshade announced winners of the program’s recognition awards: Philip Dawe, honored as the Most Outstanding Volunteer School Crossing Guard for his longtime service with the Vinsal Brown safety patrol, and Kathy Youngs, recognized as Most Outstanding School Crossing Guard for Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. Both were acknowledged in the meeting and asked to stand.

Commissioners and members of the public praised crossing guards and asked about how residents can apply or volunteer; staff said interested people can watch for job postings or inquire about volunteer opportunities with the city. No changes to the program or budget were proposed during the informational presentation.","City staff presented the school crossing guard program, noting 17 guard locations across Roseville and recognizing two outstanding volunteers.","actionData","errors"]
