You're invited to try transit any time, but we hope you'll make a special effort to do so during Try Transit Week from October 19-23. We'll be celebrating all week long with special highlights and promotions.
October 19: Official-ly Onboard
METRO’s leadership will ride along with Summit County Public Health Commissioner Donna Skoda and Assistant Health Commissioner Tonya Block, highlighting METRO’s safety initiatives surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
October 20: Travel Training Tuesday
We’ll highlight METRO’s Travel Training program. Travel Training is a great way to learn about riding public transit in Summit County, whether you’re new to the area or just looking for alternative transportation options. Our travel trainer will host a live Q&A on Facebook at 11 a.m. to answer your questions about riding METRO, from tracking your bus in real time to how to use the bike racks.
October 21: Free Fares & Ways to Pay Wednesday
Wednesday is a free fare day on all METRO services! We’ll also share the many ways you can purchase bus passes for those other days you need to pay.
October 22: Throwback Thursday
Did you know METRO used to be the Akron Transportation Company? It’s true! Join us on social media for a trip down memory lane and celebrate our history.
October 23: Feature Friday
