Redding Area Bus Authority Launches RABA Runabout Micro Transit Service

The Redding (CA) Area Bus Authority (RABA) has started a new Sunday micro transit service through Shasta Lake, Redding, and Anderson. Sunday public transit service has been provided through the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency under the ShastaConnect brand since 2019.

The new RABA Runabout service will initially operate on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. anywhere in Redding, Shasta Lake, and Anderson. To use RABA Runabout, passengers will either call 530-241-2877 or download the RABA & ShastaConnect app to their smartphone. When calling or using the app, passengers will specify a pick-up and drop-off location. The dispatcher or app will let the passenger know when the bus is estimated to arrive.

“RABA continues to make improvements to make public transportation easier for Shasta County (CA) residents and visitors,” RABA Transit Manager John Andoh said. “For the first time in history, RABA will provide seven-days-a-week public transit service. This will allow people to travel to jobs, church, and other quality-of-life necessities.”

The service is free through Sept. 30, 2024. Beginning Oct. 1, 2024, regular RABA fares resume. The cost will be $2 for 2 hours, with discounts for eligible passengers. Additionally, RABA 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day passes will work on RABA Runabout with no extra fare.

Later this year, RABA will launch more RABA Runabout zones in East Redding, Shasta Lake/Mountain Gate, Anderson/South County, and West/Central Redding.
