RTA also announced it is extending free weekend rides for the rest of the year. The free weekend rides will continue on Saturdays and Sundays through Jan. 1and include fixed-route and paratransit services.

“With the RTA now offering the same level of service seven days a week, we felt free rides on the weekends would be a great way to get folks familiar with using RTA and providing them with a reliable transportation option for all their weekend needs,” said Bob Ruzinsky, RTA CEO.

People can plan their trips using the Transit app or by visiting www.iriderta.org.
