Transit Storage Program

The Transit Storage Warehouse offers state agencies quality supplemental storage at competitive rates based on cubic feet for all types of materials including, but not limited to, archive boxes, paper products, furniture, equipment and vehicles. The program provides most any type of storage: open floor space, drive-in pallet racking and high security. There are no hidden charges or access fees.

Included in the low rate offered through the Transit Storage Program is free local delivery of paper products to destinations in the Sacramento area.

Out of town shipments or items other than paper products can be accommodated. Transit Storage will complete the bill of lading and contact a Department of General Services (DGS) Transportation Management approved carrier, chosen to provide you with the best service and freight rate. These charges will be included with your monthly Transit Storage invoice.

Items can be accessed any time during normal business hours. Call for an appointment to arrange to have material waiting for you. Transit Storage can also accommodate special needs after hours.
