In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
During the two-day event, all passengers will be able to board County Commuter Fixed-Route buses without incurring any fare. This is an opportunity for current transit users to save money on their travel expenses and for those who do not typically use public transportation to experience its advantages firsthand. The transit service aims to showcase how public transportation can be an easy, affordable, and convenient option for various needs, including commuting to work, attending appointments, shopping, or visiting friends and family.
The benefits of utilizing public transportation extend beyond individual savings and convenience. By choosing to ride the bus, residents can contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing vehicle emissions and can help alleviate traffic congestion within the county. Furthermore, it enhances mobility and accessibility for a broader range of community members. Those interested in participating in the free fare days are advised to plan their trips in advance. Information regarding schedules, route details, and assistance with trip planning can be found on the Washington County Transit website or by contacting their customer service line. Regular fare collection will resume on Saturday, June 20, 2026. Washington County Transit is dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and accessible transportation services throughout Washington County, connecting residents to essential destinations such as employment, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, shopping centers, and other vital community resources.
