National Get On Board Day Was Held On April 25, 2019

Bay Area Rural Transit, Red Cliff Transit and Bad River Transit joined other public transportation systems nationwide and participated in National Get on Board Day on Thursday, April 25th by offering

free fares to all riders!

Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2019 National Get On Board Day was a day that encouraged people to support public transportation and showcased the benefits it brings to communities. Each weekday in the U.S., 34 million people board public transportation.  Additionally, public transportation is a cornerstone of local economies in urban, suburban, and rural communities. In fact, public transportation helps to make a community economically prosperous and competitive. Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns, powering community growth and revitalization.
