πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

RiverCities Transit will offer free rides on Saturday, July 25, 2026, to honor Disability Pride Day, which falls on Sunday, July 26. The observance commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and promotes inclusion of the disabled community.

A new bus stop at 12th Ave and Maple will open for Routes 30 and 33 on Friday, June 19, 2026. The stop features an ADA-compliant curb cut ramp and provides closer access to CAP. The previous stop at 12th and Broadway will now serve Route 32 at Broadway and 11th Ave.

The transit authority also announced free rides on Monday, June 15, 2026, due to temperatures expected above 90 degrees. This follows a pattern of offering fare-free service during extreme heat events.
