MV Transportation is the contractor of all paratransit services in Santa Rosa.
One of CityBus' routes, Route 16 (Oakmont Shuttles), picks up Oakmont residents who are ADA Paratransit Certified at their homes for free to take them to and from locations within Oakmont. It also lets residents to get a ride home for free as well. They can go on the daily shopping trips to:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - St. Francis Center (Safeway)
Tuesdays - Montgomery Village
Wednesdays - Montecito Shopping Center (Oliver’s Market)
