Thursday and Friday, July 16-17, 2009  have been designated by the
Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District  as  "Spare the
Air" days.   Rides on YOLOBUS and Unitrans fixed route services will be
provided at no charge to riders on both of those days because of this
"Spare the Air Day" designation. Also, riders of YOLOBUS paratransit
services will not be charged a fare on those days, as well.  Unitrans,
which serves the City of Davis, surrounding area, and U.C. Davis campus,
will offer free rides on Spare the Air days as well.  This free-ride
offer does not apply to Sacramento Regional Transit buses or light rail.

This summer, when the Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to exceed
"150" for ozone levels, the air district sends out announcements at
least the day before.

Additionally, because the temperature forecast is significant for
Thursday and Friday, both YOLOBUS and Unitrans are advising passengers
to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and  staying indoors as
long as possible (until their buses arrive), particularly in the
afternoon.    While supplies last, YOLOBUS is giving away bottles that
riders will be encouraged to fill with water  and  re-use throughout the
summer.  

How can a rider find out if their bus is on time without being out there
in the heat of the day?  YOLOBUS riders can now get real time
information on where their bus is simply by going to the Yolobus.com web
site and clicking  "automatic vehicle location system", or going to 
http://avl.yctd.org/.  YOLOBUS is the first public bus system in the
Sacramento area to offer system-wide real-time bus location information.
In the coming months, Unitrans and Elk Grove will be implementing real
time bus location systems, as well.

This free-ride incentive program on YOLOBUS is funded by the Sacramento
Area Council of Governments and the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management
District.  

Five-day forecasts for ozone are available at  www.sparetheair.com
<http://www.sparetheair.com/>  and Spare the Air days are determined a
day in advance which helps people plan to use alternative
transportation, including bus, carpooling, walking and bicycling.
Residents can also receive personal notification through Air Alert, a
free service available by signing up at www.myairalert.net
<http://www.myairalert.net/> .  On declared "Spare the Air" days anyone
can ride YOLOBUS for free.

Bus schedules are available by contacting YOLOBUS at 530-666-2877 or 
www.yolobus.com <http://www.yolobus.com/> , as well as UNITRANS at
530-752-2877 or www.Unitrans.com <http://www.unitrans.com/> .
