LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake Transit Authority said it will continue offering free rides through October thanks to a federal grant.
Mark Wall, general manager for Lake Transit, said the free rides began on Sept. 15 to help Lake County residents with transportation needs during the Valley fire emergency.
He said the extended free rides program is made possible through the help of a federal grant designed to assist with Valley fire recovery efforts.
Lake Transit officials met with Caltrans and Federal Transit Administration last week to discuss ways to boost service to help those who have been displaced from their homes, Wall said.
Along with the free rides in October, additional services are being planned and will be announced soon, according to Wall.
Since some customers have already purchased October monthly passes, Wall said Lake Transit will honor the October passes through November.
