Clovis, CA, January 28, 2025 – Clovis residents may notice new bus stops under construction throughout the city. The new stops are part of a major update to the Clovis Transit system by the City of Clovis to better serve the growing community. In less than a year’s time, Clovis Transit’s fixed-route system will have entirely new routes, optimized for greater accessibility and efficiency for riders. The change comes after several years of surveys and research to design a new system that will meet the needs of residents both today and well into the future.
Clovis Transit has operated two main loops for over 25 years. In that time, Clovis’s population has more than doubled, creating the need for updated, expanded routes. The new-and-improved Clovis Transit system replaces the old loop routes with streamlined, color-coded routes along major roadways in Clovis with new connections to help passengers reach their destinations with greater ease and speed. North and South routes will run along key streets such as Willow, Clovis, Sunnyside, and Temperance Avenues. East and West routes will cover Herndon, parts of Barstow, Fifth Street, Shaw, and Ashlan. The routes are also designed to connect with nearly all Clovis Unified high schools, Clovis Community College, and Fresno State, ensuring students have access to reliable transportation. Even the colors of the routes have significance. The pink line, for example, connects to the hospital and cancer center and symbolizes breast cancer awareness. The new routes are expected to be in service by the end of 2025.
“This new system has been years in the making, and we’re excited to introduce it to our community,” said Amy Hance, General Services Director for the City of Clovis. “This redesign not only reflects our dedication to fostering a robust transportation system but also strengthens the fabric of our community by ensuring that mobility is in reach for all.”
For passengers located in the far north, northeast, and east areas of Clovis, the City will also be introducing new Micro-Transit pick-up and drop-off at three locations: Dry Creek Trailhead, the Harlan Ranch Community Recreation Center, and Pasa Tiempo Park. These services will be available on demand to connect passengers to the main transit routes for greater access and convenience.
For passengers with disabilities, all Clovis Transit vehicles are ADA compliant and equipped with lifts or ramps to assist passengers. Round Up, a paratransit bus service, is also available for qualified residents with direct pick-up and drop-off service.
Riding Clovis Transit is safe, simple, and free. Clovis Transit is also integrated with Google Maps, making planning a trip as easy as opening the website or app, typing in your destination, and selecting the public transportation option. All fixed-route buses are also equipped with digital displays for onboard route information, and new bus stop signs include a text back service that will allow passengers to simply text the code on the sign to receive bus arrival information.
