TAP Into Transit Week October 20 -24

RideFinders News

This October, GRTC invites the region to TAP Into Transit, a weeklong celebration of zero-fare public transportation and the community effort that sustains it.

In Fiscal Year 2025, GRTC provided more than 12 million rides, the highest ridership in our history! That record-breaking demand shows how vital zero-fare transit is for connecting workers to jobs, students to schools, patients to care, and families to opportunities across the region.

Launched this summer, the Transit Access Partnership (TAP) is GRTC’s initiative to raise $2 million annually toward the $6.8 million needed to continue zero-fare service. During TAP Into Transit Week, October 20–24, GRTC is working toward raising $100,000 by lifting up the stories of riders who depend on transit, neighbors discovering it for the first time, and community members and regional organizations stepping in to give.

There are so many ways to join in including recording your transit trips throughout the week. Whether you’re a daily rider or trying transit for the first time, each trip you log makes a difference by highlighting the impact of sustainable travel in our region. Let’s ride together and show the power of transit!
