[ARCHIVED] Free Rides September

Welcome Back, thumbs up. Free rides August and September on MAX and StaRT. Image of buses.

Free Rides from the Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA) continue in September on Modesto Area Express (MAX) and Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT)! All services are free including paratransit/Dial-A-Ride! 

As we continue to combat COVID-19, StanRTA would like to reassure riders:

  • Public transportation is safe and here for you!
  • MAX & StaRT buses are sanitized nightly with hospital-grade disinfectant. 
  • For your safety, masks remain required while riding. The mask mandate has been extended through January 2022.

Visit stanrta.org 

  • Learn more about the new StanRTA.
  • Hear the latest developments.
  • Virtually attend StanRTA Board of Directors meetings on the fourth Thursday of every month and provide input. 

Enjoy free rides this September!
