The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) is offering systemwide free rides in celebration of Earth Day on Friday, April 22, 2022. Free rides are available to travel on all buses (includes Elk Grove Transit, Folsom Stage Line and Causeway Connection), light rail, SmaRT Ride shuttles and SacRT GO Paratransit Services shuttles during regular service hours. No flyer is needed to ride free.

Fossil-fuel powered transportation is the single biggest source of air pollution in California. Just one light rail train car can take 150 automobiles off the road, and one bus can take 60 cars off the road.

SacRT light rail vehicles minimize air pollution, as they are 100% powered by electricity and most buses use compressed natural gas (CNG) which produces fewer pollutants, other vehicles are 100 percent zero-emission electric battery powered vehicles.

On Earth Day, help clear the air by trying an alternative form of transportation. Leave the car at home and try SacRT for free.
