Transit

Introduction

Leave the driving to somebody else! For many commuters, transit is the transportation of choice; for others it's the ideal back-up.

What is Transit?

Transit provides economical, dependable transportation to a variety of destinations using buses and trains. Transit works well for commuters on a regular schedule, who live or work near a transit stop, and who enjoy a short walk on one or both ends of the trip.

How Do You Save?

The typical bus fare in the coverage area averages $1.50. Tri-Rail riders can make one-way trips for as little as $2.00. Applying monthly passes and tax benefits can bring the price of transit down even further.
