Metro's Fareless System Initiative |
|
Metro is studying how they could eliminate fares on buses and trains and they want to hear from you!
The Fareless System Initiative study is underway and a leading concept has emerged – an 18 month fareless pilot program that would provide free rides on Metro buses and rail service for low-income riders starting in January 2022 and K-12 students starting in August 2022. The pilot would be set to end on June 30, 2023. Metro invites you to learn more about this concept and provide feedback.
The Fareless System Initiative project team will present at the five local Service Council meetings in March. Metro’s local Service Councils advise on planning and implementation of Metro services in five geographic regions, but the presentation will be the same and you can attend any of the meetings, regardless of where you live. These meetings will also be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and provide input. Below you can find details of the upcoming meetings.
All agendas will be posted here and you can access all the meetings here.
The South Bay Service Council Meeting is on Friday, March 12th at 9:30am. If you have any questions about these meetings or about the Fareless System Initiative, please email [email protected]
