Transit riders and those visiting local establishments along the MetroLink alignment on Wednesday, July 30, be on the lookout for oversized white envelopes with a big, red question mark. These will be hidden in plain sight on the MetroLink and MetroBuses, as well as at Metro Transit Centers and nearby attractions. If you find one, take it, look inside and claim your FREE ride – as each will feature either a complimentary monthly pass for August (valued at $78) or a Metro Adventure Day Pass (valued at $5).
This daylong “surprise and delight” is part of the summerlong “No Red Day” campaign designed to educate community members about the impact of unhealthy air quality and how simple steps, like taking transit, can help prevent a red day from happening. This is particularly important as summer reaches its peak because higher temperatures combined with vehicle emissions can create dangerous levels of ground-level ozone pollution. Red air quality days are the worst on the Air Quality Index and can have serious health consequences for vulnerable populations, including children, seniors and people with respiratory conditions.
If you aren’t among the dozens of individuals to find free passes on July 30, be reminded that all who register for the “No Red Day” campaign at NoRedDay.com receive a Metro Adventure Day Pass via mail to give transit a try.
Join the St. Louis Regional Clean Air Partnership and Citizens for Modern Transit – along with Metro Transit and hundreds of area residents – in this clean air movement today. Visit NoRedDay.com to learn more.
