Construction has largely concluded on the first step to construct the new bus turnout. Minor work may occur in the project area as this part wraps up.
The second step will be installing the new electric chargers and is expected to begin March 2025, depending on materials.

Starting in early 2024, two on-route bus chargers will be constructed at the Westfield Galleria mall, a key transfer point for
Roseville Transit and Placer County Transit services. This step will allow new electric Roseville Transit buses to provide continued service throughout the day. Construction is estimated to be completed in 2025.
The on-route bus chargers are needed to support the electrification of Roseville Transit's fleet. The switch from clean diesel to fully electric buses will lower emissions as well as fuel and maintenance costs. Affordable and reliable power will be supplied by community-owned Roseville Electric Utility. Roseville’s initial purchase of electric vehicles will replace existing Commuter and Arrow buses.
The overhead chargers being constructed at the Galleria will initially charge buses operating on a new upcoming service, Rapid Link and provide weekday 30-minute service between Lincoln, Roseville and the Watt / I-80 Sacramento Regional Transit light rail station.
All transit fleets are required by the California Air Resources Board to be converted to zero-emission vehicles by 2040. Roseville Transit’s entire fleet will gradually be replaced with electric buses to improve access and mobility throughout the city as well as connecting with neighboring communities in Placer and Sacramento Counties.
Watch and learn how the City of Roseville is making cleaner choices for its vehicle fleet.
The project is expected to begin in early 2024 and be completed in 2025.
The first step will be constructing the new bus turnout. The second step will be installing the new electric chargers. Each step is estimated to occur about 7 months apart due to a long lead time in materials.
The total construction cost is estimated to be $2.8 million, which will be primarily funded with state and local sources including: Solutions for Congested Corridors, South Placer Regional Transportation Authority (SPRTA), Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) and Placer County Clean Air Funds. No General Fund resources will be used for the project.
