FAST, (no longer Fairfield and Suisun Transit), underwent a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) in December 2020. Per the recommendations, FAST has been progressing through various phases to administer changes within current transit services. In July 2023, fixed route and paratransit fares increased; and in September, FAST CONNECT (on-demand microtransit) was added to serve two zones, Cordelia/Green Valley and Northeast Fairfield. Adding these zones eliminated routes 2, 4, and 6 and converted route 8 to the 8 Tripper. To schedule rides in these zones, the “Ride Pingo” app can be downloaded on smartphones and rides can be prescheduled 24 hours in advance. FAST also eliminated fixed route paper passes to move toward contactless payment options, including Clipper, Token Transit (mobile app), and Ride Pingo (FAST Connect mobile app).
