Santa Rosa City Bus Route 16, Oakmont’s exclusive community shuttle, has a new vehicle making rounds. The 2023 Cutaway Ford E450 mirrors a previous vehicle that served Oakmont, with features that include a zero-stair entry, 20 folding seats, and four wheelchair spaces. There are also eight cameras recording inside and outside movement.
The Oakmont Shuttle runs from 8:15 a.m. to 4:10 p.m., Monday through Friday, with stops at all facilities. The shuttle also offers scheduled shopping trips each day of the week to locations like the Bennett Valley Center on Mondays, Montgomery Village on Tuesdays, St. Francis Center and Montecito Olivers on Wednesdays, Farmers Lane CVS and the 4th Street Safeway on Thursdays, and the St. Francis Center again on Fridays.
The City of Santa Rosa is considering routing changes for Route 16, partially due to a decrease in ridership, and is inviting Oakmont’s engagement to identify possible changes. Call 707-543-3333 for questions and comments, or visit SRCityBus.org.
