ORANGE – In honor of Earth Day, OCTA invites residents and visitors to support the environment by taking advantage of free rides on public transit all day.
OCTA will offer complimentary rides on all regular OC Bus routes on Wednesday, April 22, with no pass or fare required. OC Bus provides a safe, reliable and convenient way to travel to work, school and destinations throughout Orange County. The free ride promotion is designed to encourage more people to try transit and consider making it part of their daily routine.
Taking public transportation helps people share the ride and reduce traffic congestion and protect the environment along the way. OCTA’s OC Bus fleet already runs on clean natural gas, with additional zero-emissions buses in the fleet, moving toward a 100 percent zero-emissions future to help improve air quality in Orange County.
