RABA on the Move: Free Rides, Beach Bus, Uber Partnerships & the Future of Transit in Redding

June 06, 2025 • City of Redding • Season 5 • Episode 20

Public transit in Redding is getting a major upgrade. In this episode, we talk with Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) Transit General Manager John Andoh and EA Kelly Sepelyak about the many new services and innovations transforming how people move around Shasta County.

From free shuttles to the Redding Rodeo and discounted rides to Colt 45s games, to the return of the summer Beach Bus and a brand-new Uber partnership — RABA is making transit more accessible, convenient, and connected than ever before. Riders can now plan and pay for trips through the Moovit app, combining RABA buses with scooters, e-bikes, Uber rides, and on-demand service.

We also look ahead to RABA’s plans for a zero-emission fleet and explore how public transit is being reimagined to better serve residents, commuters, and visitors alike.

Whether you're a daily rider or new to public transit, this episode is packed with insights on how RABA is building a smarter, more flexible transportation system for our region.
