Rider Alert: Everyone Rides Free on Petaluma Transit, starting July 1, 2024
As of July 1, 2024, Petaluma Transit has eliminated fare collection on all Petaluma Transit fixed-route bus service and paratransit services. This one-year pilot program aims to increase ridership, promote Petaluma Transit’s network of services, alleviate the financial burden of low-income riders, improve access, and meet the rigorous climate goals set forth by the City.
Key Highlights of the Fare-Free Program:
- Fare-Free Travel: Starting July 1, all Petaluma Transit services will be completely fare-free. No tickets, no passes, no cash – just show up and ride.
- No Application Needed: Whether you’re a daily commuter or an occasional rider, you can now board any Petaluma Transit bus without a fare. Say goodbye to the hassle of carrying cash or exact change. Enjoy a seamless, hassle-free travel experience.
- Paratransit Services: Paratransit passengers have historically not benefited from common fare-free programs. This groundbreaking initiative allows paratransit riders to use both fixed-route bus services and paratransit services for free, expanding access to those with fixed or limited incomes.
