In keeping with the nine-year tradition of the “Kids Ride Free” summer program, Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) has committed to providing this program once again in 2016 on all fixed routes.
ORT is confident the community will take advantage of this program again this year.
All three malls, three aquatic centers, nine public libraries, four movie theaters, several parks and museums, the downtown areas of every town that participates in public transit, the Jones Center, and multiple trailheads along the Razorback Greenway all await passengers using the bus system.
The free fare service dates are from Tuesday, May 31, 2016, through Friday, Sept. 2, 2016, and are open to anyone born in 1999 or later; essentially, age 17 or younger. Children under age 12 are required to have an older guardian accompanying them.
As a reminder, all of ORT's fixed-route vehicles are equipped with bicycle racks, and now every bus is equipped with free Wi-Fi.
