Its location being close to downtown and across from Santa Rosa Plaza allows passengers to work, shop, dine, and relax within the Transit Mall's vicinity. Its proximity also to US 101 and CA 12 allows commuters from Sonoma County and other locations to drive to the Transit Mall for commuter buses beyond Santa Rosa.

[5] Other major bus agencies, including Greyhound, which provides connections between Santa Rosa and the rest of the country, and Sonoma County Airport Express that provides connections between Santa Rosa and two Bay Area airports (SFO and OAK), do not stop at the Transit Mall; instead, these services stop at a hotel south of downtown.[6] The city is also on the main route of the future Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit service, but, the railway station will not be built at the Transit Mall; instead, it will be built at Historic Downtown (Railroad Square),[7] in which service from the Transit Mall is currently provided by Santa Rosa CityBus.
