Get Ready to Hop on Board!

During the month of June 2024, public transit agencies around the state of Colorado will join together to take part in the Zero Fare for Better Air initiative.

This collaborative, statewide initiative, made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 22-180, in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office, is designed to reduce ground level ozone by increasing use of public transit. Transit riders will benefit from the program as many transit agencies allow riders to take transit this summer, during Colorado’s high ozone season.

We hope you enjoy taking advantage of the Zero Fare program to try transit to get to work, school, a Doctor’s appointment, or a weekend exploring Colorado.
