In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to comply with the in-shelter order activated by Sacramento County on March 19, 2020, a number of DOR personnel are now (or making arrangements for) telecommunicating from home. We request your patience at this time. The following COVID-19 FAQs, Information, and Resources Page provides information on COVID-19, its impact on rail and transit systems, and what steps federal, state, and transit operators are taking in response to this pandemic.

The California Minimum General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Guidelines, developed as part of the California Integrated Travel Program (Cal-ITP) from the draft guidelines, have been reviewed and finalized on August 19th, 2020.

Questions and inquiries regarding the GTFS Guidelines can be directed to gtfsrt@dot.ca.gov.
