RTS provides more than 600,000 passenger-trips per year.

Fleet
RTS operates a fleet of Gillig Phantoms and hybrid Low Floors. The Humboldt Transit Authority (HTA) has been awarded a $38.7M grant from the California State Transportation Agency’s Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program in 2022 that will launch HTA’s transition to a zero-emission fleet. Coming soon to HTA are 11 New Flyer fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) and a hydrogen fueling station at HTA’s facility in Eureka. HTA worked closely with transit bus manufacturer New Flyer to develop specifications for a next-generation model of their Xcelsior Charge H2TM. HTA will be replacing the entire fleet of the Redwood Transit system with these new buses.
