Route deviations and DIAL-A-RIDE information: Call us to make a reservation, Monday-Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. When the dispatcher is unavailable after hours and weekends, please leave a message. Call at least 15 to 30 minutes in advance for a ride. Should you no longer need a ride, please cancel as soon as possible. The bus operates on a 30-minute window, expect the bus to show up at least 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after the time requested. The bus will only wait 5 minutes before proceeding to the next pick up or drop off.  Rio Vista Delta Breeze is a door-to-door service.  This means bus operators will provide assistance to the door of the pick up or drop off location with permission from the passenger. When making a reservation, please provide us with the following:

1. Your name and telephone number
1. Where you would like to be picked up
2. Where you are going
3. The time you need to arrive at your destination
4. When you would like to return
5. Any special needs
   Route deviations on Routes 50, 52 and 53 are on a first come, first served, space available basis.  A passenger may only request up to 2 deviations, unless passengers loads are light to warrant more deviations.  This means 1 deviation in the Rio Vista/Isleton area and 1 deviation in the outlying city that the route is serving. Each deviation is 50 cents and is paid on top of the intercity fare.

1.  
   Route 51 does not charge a route deviation fare. Every time a passenger gets off the bus, the passenger will need to pay the full fare to reboard Route 51 for travel to another destination served by Route 51.
2.  
   Subscription service is available to passengers that have a regular travel pattern that is daily, weekly or monthly. Please call us to sign up for the service. The no-show and late cancel policy applies to this service.
3.  
   No Shows and Late Cancels: Prevent No Shows and Late Cancels! Please contact the dispatcher at (707) 374-2878 if you no longer a route deviation or trip on Route 51. If a passenger receives six no-shows and/or late cancels in a one-year period, they will be subject to a two-week suspension from riding Rio Vista Delta Breeze transit services.  Passengers suspended may appeal the decision of the Transit Coordinator by mailing, faxing or emailing a letter to the Transit Coordinator. Contact information is on the Welcome Aboard panel.
