YARTS (Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) is public transit in the Yosemite region, with buses entering Yosemite Valley from Merced, Mammoth Lakes, Sonora, and Fresno—as well as many different towns along the way. YARTS began service in May 2000, and now provides an alternative to driving to nearly 100,000 riders per year. YARTS is managed by the Merced County Association of Governments, and offers rides to all visitors to Yosemite, providing the highest possible level of service regardless of ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or accessibility needs. If you feel you have experienced discrimination in the level and/or quality of transportation services and transit-related benefits that you have received, you may review our non-discrimination policy here and submit a complaint online at the Department of Justice website.   More about YARTS Edit this
