Auberry Transit: Weekday Foothill Trips and Tuesday Fresno–Clovis Service Require Planning

AUBERRY, Fresno County. Residents of Auberry and neighboring Sierra foothill communities have a rural public transportation service, but it works differently from a city bus that arrives at a fixed stop every few minutes. The Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) lists Auberry Transit among its reservation-based service options.

What areas are served?

According to the operator, Auberry Transit connects foothill communities and the Big Sandy and Cold Springs Rancherias, with an intra-community service schedule listed for Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–2:30 p.m.. This is a regional service area description, not a promise that every remote driveway lies within the service boundary.

Fresno–Clovis connection

The operator also lists an inter-city service to the Fresno–Clovis area on Tuesdays, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., requiring a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. Riders should contact the service about exact pickup points, fares, accessibility, service holidays and return-trip arrangements before scheduling a medical appointment or a time-sensitive trip.

How to reserve or ask questions

The agency’s published information and reservations number is 1-855-612-5184. Its route services page also contains information on other foothill and intercity connections. The FCRTA system offers both demand-responsive and fixed-route services, so riders should not apply one area’s booking rules to another area’s route without checking.

Why it matters for Auberry

Transport can determine access to appointments, jobs, schools and basic services in the foothills. Auberry News will distinguish scheduled intercity trips and qualified reservations from a guaranteed same-day taxi ride, and will direct passengers to the transit operator for real-time updates.
