Butte Regional Transit is a public transit system which provides bus service in the communities of Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Magalia, Oroville, Palermo, Paradise [1] and across Butte County, California. In 2005, the consolidation of CATS in Chico, OATS in Oroville and BCT in Butte County resulted in the formation of this transit agency. This agency is also known as B-Line. [2]

Contents

Butte County Association of Governments is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that is charged with the administration of the system.

Besides operation of the local and regional fixed routes listed in the table below, B-Line also operates a paratransit service for ADA qualified individuals and those age 70 or over. The service provides door-to-door, scheduled services within the cities of Oroville and Chico and the Town of Paradise. It does not currently offer inter-city services.
