Metro is studying how to eliminate fares on their buses and trains and they want to hear from us!
Join the Telephone Town Hall on March 31st from 6:30 – 7:30 pm to share your opinions on how a fareless system could impact the way you use transit.
The Fareless System Initiative study is underway, and a leading concept has emerged – an 18-month fareless pilot program that could provide free rides on Metro buses and rail service for low-income riders starting in January 2022, and expanding to all K-12 students in August 2022. The purpose of the pilot is to test the feasibility of a fully fareless system. At the conclusion of the pilot in June 2023, Metro will evaluate the possibility of a fully fareless system. Metro invites you to learn more about this concept. The Town Hall meeting will also be an opportunity for you to share your feedback.
