Sacramento SPAB questions
Where do buses stage during a Capitol field trip?
We drop at the Capitol Mall / L Street side, then the driver moves to an approved off-site layover and returns on a set pickup time coordinated with the tour desk.
Do you run Sacramento school trips to Lake Tahoe in winter?
Yes, with chain-condition contingency. If Caltrans requires chains on US-50 or I-80 we advise the trip lead of the revised schedule before departure rather than en route.
Can you cover Sac-Joaquin Section playoff travel?
Yes. Sac-Joaquin brackets can send a team two hours in any direction; we quote those as flat trip rates with driver-hours accounted for.
Do you serve Elk Grove and San Juan as well as Sacramento City?
Yes — all Sacramento-area districts are within our dispatch range, and we return each district's vendor packet within one business day.
