California transit providers
From buses, shuttles, and on-demand paratransit to commuter and intercity rail, passengers want transportation that’s easy to find and easy to pay for.
To better understand the size and scale of opportunities for integration in transportation, the Cal-ITP team compiled a list of California’s transit providers.

About the data
This dataset includes known transit providers in California, covering public transit operators, intercity rail, and special services that may not fall within standard definitions of transit. Each provider entry includes its headquarter city, counties where active, the associated National Transit Database (NTD) ID (if available), the website URL, and key attributes from the NTD. It is currently limited to providers who operate their own services.
This list is a living document that will be updated regularly with new service provider information. If you have comments, additions, or corrections to this dataset, we’re working on ways for you to share that feedback. Please check back soon.
