The Stanislaus County Public Works Transit Division, which manages the County’s transit system, Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT), will offer free rides to the public on 6 of its fixed route services on Saturday, April 22nd, 2017. The free rides will be offered to encourage ridership throughout Stanislaus County to attend the Earth Day in the Park festival at Graceada Park in Modesto.
Free rides will be offered to anyone riding routes 15 (Modesto–Ceres–Keyes–Turlock), 40 (Modesto-Grayson-Westley-Patterson), 45E(Patterson-Turlock), 45W(Patterson-Crows Landing-Newman-Gustine), 60 (Modesto-Riverbank-Oakdale) and 61 (Modesto-Empire-Waterford-Hickman-Hughson-Ceres). The rides are not limited to only go to the Earth Day festival, but to encourage Stanislaus County residents to get out in the community and participate in this great event coordinated by the City of Modesto.
This project was funded with Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) Funds awarded to the County’s Public Works Transit Division by the State of California State Controller’s Office. The Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) is one of several programs that are part of the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 by Senate Bill 862.
