The City of Turlock officials have approved free bus rides on Turlock Transit from July 9 through 22, to include the run of the Stanislaus County Fair.

Turlock Transit will allow all routes to be free of charge to patrons riding their busses during the run of the Fair. Bus Route 2 will run an additional bus and pick up from CSU Stanislaus on Monte Vista Ave with pickup times being every 15 minutes from that route. Route 2 will also run through midnight when the Fair closes, as well as during Fair hours on Sundays. The closest drop-off to the Fair with Route 2 will be on Fulkerth Road at North Soderquist Road. Stanislaus State is also providing free parking in parking lot 2 for guests using the Monte Vista Avenue pick up.

“The city is proud to be home of the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds,” said Gary Soiseth, City of Turlock Mayor. “This new partnership for transportation will be the right welcome to all visitors that come to our great city to enjoy the fair and it will demonstrate the great bus services we have to offer.”

The Fair’s previous shuttle program will not be in place this year in order to focus on existing transportation methods.

“The Fair is excited for this new partnership with Turlock’s Transit system,” said Matt Cranford, CEO of the Stanislaus County Fair. “This can provide the beginnings for local transportation to become an integral part of access to the Fair.”

Riding the bus is accessible to all patrons coming to Turlock during Fair. The route schedule can be found online at www.turlocktransit.com. Convenient, sustainable, and powered by clean and natural gas, the City of Turlock transit system has made getting around town easier.

Funds to provide these transportation services are funded through federal grant dollars to encourage transit ridership.

The 2018 Stanislaus County Fair opens Friday, July 13 for a 10-day run. Fair guests can count on an award-winning experience that has been over 107 years in the making. Discounted Fair admission tickets, unlimited ride wristbands, and the Fair season pass are now on sale. Visit the Fair’s website for ticket sale information at www.stancofair.com.

The 2018 Fair will feature a spectacular children’s area presented by Sky Trek Aviation. Also planned for 2018 are 10-nights of free celebrity concerts included with Fair admission, a total of three stages of live entertainment, upwards of 30,000 local exhibits and over 1,750 animals. Metal-mashing motorsports and rodeo in the FoodMaxx Arena will also be featured.

The mission of the Stanislaus County Fair is to provide a family and community-oriented experience promoting agriculture, entertainment and technology.
