Kings Area Regional Transit

12 buses made between 2010 and 2013 utilize New Flyer C35LFR or XN35. Later buses use ElDorado Axess BRT CNG 35' and Gillig Low Floor CNG 35' buses.

Fresno County Rural Transit Agency

It is currently unknown which buses they operate, but I found some ElDorado Axess BRT CNG and Proterra buses on the road.

Visalia Transit

Some Orion VII NG CNG buses were in service, while other units came from Gillig BRT Plus CNG and Proterra Catalyst BE40 buses. Two New Flyer XE35 buses made in 2023 were delivered. The Sequoia Shuttle utilize Gillig BRT HEV 29' or 35'.

Porterville Transit

All buses were made by ElDorado E-Z Rider II MAX or BRT 32' CNG.

Corcoran Area Transit

There were two ElDorado National Transmark RE 29' and one XHF 29' in the fleet.

Tulare County Area Transit

Since there were some Ford E-450s and rare NABI Ultra LF 35' buses, there were some Gillig Low Floor CNG 35' buses in this area.
