=====================================================
==Free RTD Public Transit for All in August ==
Free Fare for Clean Air
All RTD services will be free, including the airport buses, for the entire month of August to help reduce air pollution in a collaborative, statewide initiative designed to reduce ground-level ozone by increasing use of public transit. Also, to get people use to using the bus more often.
No need to show your EcoPass, and you can bring a friend or a bunch of friends and family on RTD’s buses and trains. Get to where you want to go by transit and not have to spend time searching for parking, and save money on gas, and help the environment.
See ARTICLE For full details, including tips on how to plan your trip.
