“We have a very thorough safety program here,” said Calaveras
Transit General Manager Cynthia Lawrence, “We meet regularly to review
safety issues, and that has paid off. I’m very happy with the skill
level and safety awareness of my Calaveras Transit drivers!”
The current accident-free streak goes back to April 2009. Calaveras
Transit is a deviated fixed route public transit system, which logs
approximately 302,000 miles annually serving communities within
Calaveras County, and extending to Columbia College in neighboring
Tuolumne County. The home of Mark Twain “Jumping Frog” fame,

California.
Calaveras Transit is operated by Paratransit Services, a nonprofit

Paratransit Services has operated the system since July 2011 from a
facility located in the town of San Andreas, the Calaveras County Seat.
