“We’re thrilled to coordinate with our regional partners to provide a bit of relief to all Stanislaus and Merced County residents this holiday season,” said Adam Barth, StanRTA CEO. “We look forward to showing the public how using public transit can be a positive, cost-effective transportation alternative to single-occupant motor vehicles.” Residents are encouraged to make the most of this free-ride promotion by planning their trips in advance. Trip planning tools are available on the websites of the StanRTA, The Bus, and Turlock Transit, as well as through smartphone apps such as Google Maps, the Transit app, The Bus Live app, or the Track the S app. These tools make it easy to determine the closest bus stop, the correct route, and in some cases real-time bus arrival information. “Free public transportation during the holidays is an effective way of mitigating traffic congestion, improving air quality, and getting around Stanislaus and Merced counties,” said Wayne York, Transit Manager for the City of Turlock. “We look forward to working with the StanRTA and Turlock Transit in making public transit even easier and more accessible throughout the larger region,” noted Serenity Anderson, Transit Director of The Bus.
