San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) is revamping its Van Go service to a countywide endeavor starting Sunday.

RTD Van Go is an on-demand rideshare service that helps residents travel more easily throughout San Joaquin County.  For this new pilot program, RTD has eliminated zones, transfers, and restrictions on trip origin and destination; trips can be made as long as the travel is within San Joaquin County.

 Every RTD Van Go vehicle is wheelchair accessible and its drivers are trained, licensed, and fully-prepared to help with accessibility needs.

“We are excited to be able to offer a true countrywide premium service with the changes,” said RTD CEO Gloria Salazar.  

Passengers may create a tailor-made trip with RTD’s Van Go anywhere within San Joaquin County seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Using the RTD Van Go app, which is available for download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, passengers may book a ride up to two days in advance.  For more information regarding the service, visit sjRTD.com/VanGo.

The changes starting Jan. 10 are in response to customer feedback.
