Sonoma County Airport Expands Ground Transportation Options with Uber

Charles M. Schulz — Sonoma County Airport (STS) is pleased to announce that Uber will be available to passengers after May 20.

The demand for diverse ground transportation options has increased in Sonoma County as people use our airport more and more. Uber rides are accessible by a smartphone app that connects users to drivers within the vicinity. From there, the app makes it easy to select a car and driver, and pay through your phone. Even tips can be paid with the phone so it's not necessary to have cash on hand. People set up the ap before they travel so it's available to and from the airport as well as when they are traveling - even in Europe. It's becoming a universal system for getting from one place to another easily and safely.

Vehicles for private or rideshare vehicles range from basic compacts to high-end SUVs with commercial drivers. Customers have plenty of options...it's easy...efficient...and gets people door-to-door. Drivers are screened and rated by passengers, so they are motivated to serve their customers well.

“There has been a growing demand for car service apps like Uber to/from STS. We’re excited to now have Uber as an option for passengers and expand upon our North Bay transportation service options to and from the Airport,” said Jon Stout, Airport Manager.

"Uber is excited to begin offering affordable and reliable transportation to travelers at Charles M. Schulz — Sonoma County Airport,” said Nick Smith, Uber Public Affairs.
