In this video, you’ll learn about the different ways to plan your trip, from checking the schedule to using other tools available.

Why Fare-Free Matters

• Access for everyone. Removing fares lowers the barrier for folks who depend on transit for work, groceries, medical appointments, and more.
• Environmental benefits. Fewer single‐occupancy vehicle trips means lower emissions, reduced traffic, better air quality.
• Stronger communities. When transportation is equitable and easy, people feel more connected — across towns, across borders, across neighborhoods.

Tips for a Smooth Trip

• Arrive at your stop early, especially during peak hours or on weekends when service might be less frequent.
• If you’re unsure, ask the driver or give us a call. We’re here to help!
• To access route maps and real‐time information, use the Transit app or other map apps, check our interactive map on our website, or download our schedule.

Your Ride Matters

We believe transportation should connect people, not exclude them. Our fare‑free service is part of that belief. When you ride, you’re helping support a transit network that aims to be inclusive, reliable, and green.
