Clean Air Bill: Free Summer Transit Rides

What is happening? Colorado is considering SB- 180 (2022 | CO) that would offer free transit rides during the summer to reduce emissions.

Why is this important? Colorado energy office will control the programs and offer grants to the regional transportation district & transit associations to provide free transit services for at least 30 days during ozone season.

How will this be important? Concerns raised by local transit agencies: the ability to hire drivers & the ability to deal with local increases in crimes at transit stops.
