Service Alert: MASKS ARE NOW REQUIRED WHEN RIDING KERN TRANSITClick to Expand

As of the afternoon of June 18, 2020, the California Department of Public Health now requires face coverings in public, high-risk settings in response to growing evidence that face coverings help inhibit the transmission of the coronavirus.

“Californians must wear face coverings when they are …
waiting for or riding on public transportation or paratransit…or while in a taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle.”

We appreciate your cooperation as we all work to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Service Alert: SERVICE REDUCTION CONTINUES BEYOND MAY 15THClick to Expand
Due to decreasing ridership caused by the COVID-19 pandemics, Kern Transit is making the following service changes:

Effective immediately, all local fixed routes in the Kern River Valley area have been suspended. In their place, we are offering curb-to-curb Dial-a-Ride service with additional buses as needed. Route 150 (Lake Isabella – Bakersfield) and Route 227 (Lake Isabella – Ridgecrest) will continue to operate on their regular schedule.

Beginning Monday, we are making the following changes to our Bakersfield-based routes:
- Route 100 (Bakersfield – Lancaster) – service will be reduced from 9 to 6 round trips Monday through Friday. Weekend service will not change.
- Route 110 (Bakersfield – Delano) – service will be reduced from 7 to 4 round trips Monday through Friday. Weekend service will not change.
- Route 115 (Bakersfield – Lost Hills) – service will be provided on a “request only” basis.
- Route 120 (Bakersfield – Taft) – service will be reduced from 7 to 4 round trips per day Monday through Friday. Saturday service will not change.
- Route 130 (Bakersfield – Frazier Park – Santa Clarita) – service will be reduced from 7 to 4 round trips per day. Saturday service will not change.
- Route 140 (Bakersfield – Arvin) – service will be reduced from 7 to 4 roundtrips per day Monday through Friday. Weekend service will not change.
- Route 145 (Bakersfield – Lamont) – all trips (Monday through Sunday) will be suspended. Passengers can use Route 140 as an alternate.
- Route 210 (Tejon Outlets – Lebec – Frazier Park – Pine Mountain Club) – all trips (Tuesdays and Saturdays) will be suspended. Instead, we will extend our Dial-a-Ride area on those days to include all stops on Route 210.
No changes are proposed at this time to our Mojave based routes, 230 (Mojave – Ridgecrest), 240 (Mojave – Boron) and 250 (California City – Lancaster).

Accommodations will be made for passengers who use Kern Transit to reach life-saving medical treatment, such as dialysis, and are adversely affected by these changes. Riders needing accommodations can call 1-800-323-2396 for assistance.

Service Alert: County offices closing until April 14th – Kern Transit service to continueClick to Expand

Kern County has announced that we will be moving to an “essential-staffing only model” effective tonight until April 14th. Even though our County office will be closing, because transit is an essential function, Kern Transit will keep operating for as long as we safely can.

It is our intention to continue operating our regular schedule. Unfortunately, it may become necessary for us to cancel trips, possibly with short notice. Before travelling….

1- Please check our Facebook or Twitter feeds frequently, or go to our website for the most up-to-date information.

2- Please call 1-800-323-2396 Option 1, to speak with a staff member. Because of the County office closure, no one will answer if you choose Option 5.

Also, for everyone’s safety, please wash your hands often (with soap and hot water for 20 seconds), practice social distancing (keep six feet between you and others), limit yourself to essential trips only, and STAY HOME IF YOU’RE SICK.

Thank you for your cooperation during this extraordinary time.
