Freedom Transit is holding several open houses and public comment sessions over the few weeks as it prepares to restructure its fixed route bus service.
The proposed fare changes include reducing the number of fare categories from four down to two, and then establishing a fare of $2 for all fixed route travel in Washington County, along with a $4 fare for all fixed routes traveling to and from Allegheny County.
Freedom Transit has not adjusted its fares since 2012, so it is requesting public comment on the proposed fare restructure. The public can learn about the proposed changes and offer feedback at one of the following open house meetings and public comment sessions:
*Tuesday, April 23, noon to 7 p.m., at the Freedom Transit, 50 E. Chestnut St. in Washington.
*Tuesday, April 30, noon to 2 p.m., at Heritage Public Library, 52 Fourth St. in McDonald.
*Tuesday, April 30, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., at Frank Sarris Public Library, 35 N. Jefferson Ave. in Canonsburg.
*Wednesday, May 1, noon to 7 p.m., at Freedom Transit, 50 E. Chestnut St. in Washington.
All interested parties are invited to attend the meetings and provide comments on the proposed changes. Comments will also be accepted in writing through May 1 to Freedom Transit Fixed Route Fare Adjustments, 50 E. Chestnut St., Washington, PA, 15301, or emailed to info@freedom-transit.org or by phone at 724-223-8747.
