Abstract:Transit agencies nationwide are exploring the expansion of free- and reduced-fare programs to bolster ridership and public transit affordability, with an eye toward reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Fare-free policies and programs represent a proactive approach to transit accessibility. Benefits of this strategy include improved operational efficiency by streamlining boarding processes, and mitigated emissions as transportation system users opt for easy-to-use public transit over high-emitting transportation modes like driving. These initiatives make public transportation more financially accessible to all residents and contribute to more inclusive and connected communities.
