Fares, passes, and transfers
SCT fares vary according to the length of a patron's trip. The transit system is divided into fare zones, wherein the fare depends upon the number of zones traveled. Those less than 19 years old ride free until the end of June 2025.[https://sctransit.com/fares/ Sonoma County Transit Fares] Those enrolled in a college with a Sonoma County campus ride free indefinitely.[https://sctransit.com/fares/discount-categories/ Sonoma County Transit Discount Categories] {{webarchive | url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250109025749/https://sctransit.com/fares/discount-categories/ |archive-date=2024-01-09 | access-date=2025-01-19}}
Notes:
- Although the MonthlyPASS and the 31-DayPASS are valid for one month, there are certain differences between the two.
- The MonthlyPASS is an unlimited-ride pass good for the calendar month for which it is issued. The MonthlyPASS is nontransferable, and it is to be used only by the person for whom it was purchased.
- The 31-DayPASS is valid for 31 days from the date of first use, and it can be purchased through various sales outlets, online, in person, or at the SCT main office in Santa Rosa.
- The 20-Ride CountywidePASS is a convenient 20-ride pass that eliminates the need to have the exact change for bus fare. The FastPASS is not discounted, however; it has the same value as paying cash fare. There is no expiration date for this PASS, and it is good on any Sonoma County Transit route for the number of zones purchased.
- During the summer, SCT offers a Cruisin' Pass that allows unlimited rides to patrons 19 years old and younger.[http://www.sctransit.com/purchase.htm Purchase Passes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090806060256/http://www.sctransit.com/purchase.htm |date=2009-08-06 }}
=Transfers=
SCT provides free transfers to passengers after paying a certain fare for the number of zones intended to travel, and it is valid for two (2) hours heading to the general direction of travel.[http://www.sctransit.com/transfer.htm Sonoma County Transit Transfer] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706123634/http://www.sctransit.com/transfer.htm |date=2009-07-06 }} Transferring from Santa Rosa CityBus, Petaluma Transit, and Golden Gate Transit are accepted for a first (boarding) zone fare credit. SCT also has transfer agreements with Healdsburg Transit aside from the three transit agencies mentioned above.
Paratransit
Sonoma County Paratransit is designed to serve the needs of individuals with disabilities within Sonoma County. It adheres to ADA standards to serve areas within 3/4 of a mile from any public fixed-route service. This includes service within the incorporated areas of Sonoma County, the Greater Santa Rosa Area, and between the County's nine incorporated cities. In addition, service is provided within the following communities: Windsor, Sebastopol, Sonoma, Sonoma Valley (including Agua Caliente and Boyes Hot Springs), Cotati, Rohnert Park, Rio Nido, Guerneville, Monte Rio, Duncans Mills, and Occidental.[http://www.sctransit.com/disabled.htm Paratransit Service] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720030138/http://www.sctransit.com/disabled.htm |date=2009-07-20 }}[http://www.sctransit.com/disabled.htm Sonoma County Paratransit] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720030138/http://www.sctransit.com/disabled.htm |date=2009-07-20 }}
Operating hours for the paratransit service are weekdays from 5:00am to 11:00pm and weekends from 7:00am to 9:00pm.
