Metro Fairless System Initiative Town Hall

Metro is studying how to eliminate fares on buses and trains and it wants to hear from you.

You’re invited to join a Telephone Town Hall March 31, to share your opinions on how a fareless system could impact the way you use transit. 

The Fareless System Initiative study is underway, and a leading concept has emerged – an 18-month fareless pilot program that could provide free rides on Metro buses and rail service for low-income riders starting in January 2022, and expanding to all K-12 students in August 2022. The purpose of the pilot is to test the feasibility of a fully fareless system. At the conclusion of the pilot in June 2023, Metro will evaluate the possibility of a fully fareless system. Metro invites you to learn more about this concept. The Town Hall meeting will also be an opportunity for you to share your feedback.

There are three ways to participate.

  1. To pre-register and receive a phone call when the Town Hall begins, register at: https://tthm.wufoo.com/forms/metro-telephone-town-hall-signup/
  2. To listen in live the day of, call 888.400.1932 (English) or 888.400.9342 (Spanish) at 6:30 pm
  3. Join via your web browser.

The Town Hall will also be translated into Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Time:  6:30 to 7:30 March 31.
