Hornitos Monday Transit Route Remains on Mariposa County Map After July Service Changes

HORNITOS, Mariposa County — November 8, 2026. Mariposa County Transit lists Hornitos among the communities covered on its Monday Mari-Go route, along with Highway 49 North, Bear Valley and Catheys Valley. However, riders should pay close attention to a county policy change effective July 1, 2026, before arranging an appointment or shopping trip.

What changed in July?

According to the county’s transportation page, Mari-Go shifted resources toward local rides and essential non-emergency medical transportation. Regular out-of-town shopping trips to Sonora, Atwater and Oakhurst were discontinued. Local shopping within Mariposa remains among the services described. The county’s online FAQ still contains older language referring to some out-of-town trips; callers should confirm the current policy rather than rely on the FAQ wording alone.

How much does Mari-Go cost?

The posted Mari-Go one-way fares are $2 for in-town trips within two miles, $3 for rides from two to 12 miles, and $4 for longer trips. Additional stops may cost extra, and assistance may be available for eligible seniors. MEDI-TRANS is a separate non-emergency medical service, with different fare rules.

How to reserve

Call 209-966-5315 or email transit@mariposacounty.gov; the county recommends booking at least 24–48 hours in advance. Transit generally operates weekdays 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m., subject to holiday, driver and weather conditions. A listed Monday route is not a promise that a seat or a specific destination is available on every trip.
