Everett and Community transits eye fare-free rides for youths
EVERETT — As soon as July, children 18 and under could board Everett Transit buses without cobbling $1.50 for fare.
The city-run agency is considering changing its fare policy to let them ride for free.
The Legislature’s 16-year, $17 billion Move Ahead Washington transportation package is pushing Everett and other agencies including Community Transit and Washington State Ferries to make the move. Transit agencies that do will be eligible for a cut of the package’s transit support grants totaling $1.45 billion.
It could bolster Community and Everett transit’s budgets by millions annually.
