Gear Up for Spring Adventures with Freedom Transit

Effective June 1, 2024, ConnectCard will no longer be accepted on our fixed route buses due to a change in farebox technology. Riders can utilize the Freedom Transit mobile app or Smart Card for fares. If you need assistance using the mobile app or Smart Card, please reply to this email or call 724-223-8747. Cash payments are still accepted, but exact fare is required as drivers don't carry change.
