RiverCities Transit Offers Fare-Free Service for Disability Pride Day

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

RiverCities Transit and RiverCities LIFT will offer free rides on Saturday, July 25, 2026, to honor Disability Pride Day. The event, which typically falls on July 26, will be observed a day early because the official date falls on a Sunday this year.

Disability Pride Day commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 and aims to challenge stigmas while promoting equal inclusion. The free fare service will run on all RiverCities Transit and LIFT routes on July 25.

The transit agency also announced a new bus stop at 12th Avenue and Maple for Routes 30 and 33, which opened on June 19, 2026. The stop features an ADA-compliant curb cut ramp and provides closer access to CAP, with funding supported by the Longview Accessibility Advisory Committee.
