The fare-free week aims to raise awareness of the vital role public transportation plays in connecting residents to employment, education, healthcare, and essential services, while also encouraging more community members to explore the convenience and value of STS.
“Public transportation is a vital service that helps keep our community connected and supports local economic growth,” said Commissioner President, Randy Guy. “The Commissioners continue to evaluate ways to make STS more accessible for all, including the possibility of launching a fare-free pilot program in the next fiscal year.”
Allison Swint, DPW&T Deputy Director of Transportation, expressed appreciation for both transit users and staff: “We’re grateful for our team members who work every day to keep our buses running smoothly and safely. We also thank our riders—your support keeps this service strong and community-focused.”
The St. Mary’s Transit System operates fixed routes and paratransit services across the county, serving both urban centers and rural areas. Whether commuting to work, running errands, or attending appointments, STS provides a safe, reliable, and accessible transportation option for residents of all ages.
