Description
This article is from the Yolo County FAQ, by David F. Prenatt, Jr. with numerous contributions by others.
2.7) What sort of transportation services are available to and in Yolo County?
Yolobus provides bus service to and in Yolo County from the
neighboring county of Sacramento and Citylink provides bus service
from the neighboring town of Dixon. Contact Yolobus at 1-(800)-371-
2877; TDD 371-3077 or City Link at (707)428-7590 for more information.
Greyhound and Amtrak also maintain stations in Yolo County. Ten
commercial airlines also service the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport
which borders Yolo County to the east.
2.7.1) How far is the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport from Yolo County and
how do I get there?
The Sacramento Metropolitan Airport is located about a mile from the
border of Yolo County, on the outskirts of Sacramento County. Most of
the populated regions of Yolo County are closer to the airport than
are the populated regions of Sacramento County. Take I-5 South (which
is actually eastbound) to the airport. You can't possibly miss the
airport.
2.7.1.1) Where should I park at the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport?
Short term parking is usually available near the terminal of your
airline for 75 cent for the first half hour, $1.50 per hour to a
maximum daily rate of $10; long term parking is $1.50 per hour up to a
maximum daily rate of $5. Circle around the airport once before
parking to make sure that you know where you are going once you park.
2.7.1.2) Is there an airport shuttle service from Yolo County to the
Sacramento Metropolitan Airport?
Yes. The Davis Airporter has 24 hour service to the Sacramento
Airport from all areas in and around Yolo County (reservations are
required). Contact the Davis Airporter at (916)756-6715 for more
information. [Note: Other companies provide shuttle service to the
Sacramento Airport, but I have not had occasion to use them.]
2.7.1.3) Where can I get more information about the Sacramento
Metropolitan Airport?
Call the Metro's BeeLine at (916)552-5252 or write:
Department of Airports
6900 Airport Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95837
Be sure to ask for the Bi-Monthly Flight Schedule. [Note: Readers

2.7.2) Amtrak.
Readers with a web browser may visit Amtrak's Home Page on the World
Wide Web (<http://www.amtrak.com/ >). Amtrak's Capitol Route is an
affordable and pleasant way to reach the Bay Area, but the trains do
not run on time. Make sure that you allow for plenty of time to reach
your destination.
