The Vallejo Transit Center was vandalized over the weekend, resulting in damage to multiple passenger shelters, including broken screens and glass.

We know these shelters are important for keeping riders comfortable and protected while waiting for their bus. Our staff is working as quickly as possible to repair the damage and restore the Transit Center to its normal working condition.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to make the necessary repairs. Please use caution around damaged areas and follow any posted signs.
