Free Monthly Transit Pass Allows Commuters to Test-Drive MetroLink and MetroBus
Area commuters looking to save money, reduce stress and rethink their daily drive are encouraged to give transit a try as part of “Make Your Move to Metro.” This Citizens for Modern Transit campaign—held in partnership with St. Clair County Transit District and Metro Transit—offers those new to transit the opportunity to register for a FREE monthly transit pass during March at MakeYourMoveSTL.com. The transit pass (valued at $78) is valid on MetroLink and MetroBus throughout the entire month of April. The website also includes links to plan routes, calculate cost savings and access tips and tricks for navigating transit.
The integrated public transit system in St. Louis offers a safe, convenient and cost-effective way to get to work, or anywhere else individuals want to go. Taking MetroLink or MetroBus even a few times a week can significantly reduce gas expenses, vehicle maintenance and parking fees. Beyond personal cost savings, choosing transit over driving helps reduce vehicle emissions, improving regional air quality and supporting a healthier environment for everyone. It also allows commuters to skip traffic congestion and reclaim their time.
“Commuters often shy away from taking transit due to the fear of the unknown,” stated Kimberly Cella, CEO of Citizens for Modern Transit. “This campaign breaks down that barrier by allowing new transit riders to test drive MetroLink and MetroBus at no cost. Partners are confident that once commuters experience its many benefits, they will continue to choose transit, especially with rising gas prices.”
Between now and March 31, new transit riders need to simply visit MakeYourMoveSTL.com to register by providing contact information and responding to two brief questions. Upon completion, an April monthly transit pass will be mailed to their attention—making it easy to try transit, reduce their environmental footprint and be part of the solution for cleaner air across the St. Louis region.
