Confluence American River

Auburn, CA- Auburn Transit began piloting a route that shuttles visitors from the Auburn Business Districts down to the river confluence.

The plan provides a way to park – stress free – and be shuttled down to the Confluence, making 5 primary stops along the way: Springhill Suites, Holiday Inn, Old Town Auburn (by Historic Firehouse), Downtown Auburn (At Elders Station), the Fairgrounds (main parking lot). Look for the “Confluence Route” bus signage at each location.

The buses are scheduled to start at Springhill Suites at the top of every hour, make the other stops, and arrive at the last stop, the Confluence, around 40 mins passed the hour. After a 10 minute wait, picking up passengers from the Confluence, the bus will head back up the hill to complete the route once again. The cost is $3.50 per person for a round trip and will run 9am through 5pm, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That’s cheaper then parking down there, if you can even find a spot! You can buy your pass on the bus, with exact change/cash only. If you are planning ahead, you can buy these passes at City Hall during normal business hours (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm).
