The RTC is marking 17 years of providing a safe transportation choice to help people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day responsibly with the FREE Safe RIDE program. Scheduled RTC transit services will be free on Tuesday, March 17 from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. The goal of providing this free service is to keep our roads and crosswalks safe for everyone on the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. The RTC encourages people to celebrate safely and responsibly by not being impaired and getting behind the wheel or crossing streets. RTC Interim Executive Director Amy Cummings. says they don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone trying to get home safely on St. Patrick’s Day, and we are proud to offer this free service to everyone, with support from our community partners.
