Southeastern Regional Transit Authority extends free bus rides as part of “Try Transit” campaign into next year
New Bedford/Fall River, Massachusetts – The Southeastern Regional Transit Authority has announced an extension where SRTA Fixed Route and Demand Response services will be free to all customers thanks to a grant awarded by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
The free services were originally set to take place from January 1st, 2024, through June 30th, 2024, however SRTA has announced that they are extending the program until June 30th, 2025
Although primarily designed to attract new customers by easing access to services, “Try Transit” will also offer a financial reprieve to current riders.
It is expected that the savings and increased mobility offered by SRTA’s services will translate into increased spending at local shops and restaurants.
