Q:
What is the status of the Redding Area Bus Authority's proposed bus service, with an electric bus, to the Sacramento airport? My wife and I attended the 2019 Energy Fair in Redding that April and a representative from RABA with an electric bus on display was promoting the route.
Hi, this is Michele Chandler.
A: It’s been awhile since plans for the Salmon Runner — a Redding-to-Sacramento service on electric buses equipped with comfy seats, wireless internet access and a restroom — were unveiled in 2018. After some setbacks, the North State commuter's dream come true is estimated to start in September or October. The actual operator of the proposed service is the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency, by the way.
