Clovis Transit
Clovis Transit is the public transportation agency which provides fixed intra-city routes and dial-a-ride service for Clovis, the second-largest city in Fresno County, California after the neighboring city and county seat, Fresno. Public transportation in Clovis was provided by Fresno Area Express until 1979–80, when Clovis began developing its own transportation services. Stageline riders can transfer to FAX, which provides service connecting to Fresno.
History
Public transportation service in Clovis was provided by a mixture of fixed routes from FAX and a dial-a-ride service, Round Up, which started in January 1979, funded by a grant from the Older Americans Act.The Stageline service started as demand-responsive transportation in July 1980, replacing fixed routes formerly provided by FAX. In August 1990, Stageline was converted to a fixed route service under a contracted operator, and in September 1999, the City of Clovis took over Stageline operations.
Services
Stageline operates eight primary fixed routes from Monday through Saturday; in addition, Stageline operates one "Education Center Express" route with one round-trip each per weekday.Round Up demand-responsive service operates from Monday through Saturday, and also operates on Sunday within Clovis city limits only. In addition, the "Clovis Old Town Trolley", a bus styled to resemble a streetcar, is available for charter through the City of Clovis.
Stageline route 50 also offers service to residents of the Tarpey Village, an unincorporated county island, through a reimbursement agreement with the County of Fresno. Similarly, the City of Clovis has a reimbursement agreement with the City of Fresno to extend some Fresno Area Express routes into Clovis.
