Monterey Salinas Transit announced during the week of August 5 that an expanded Free Fare Zone partnership with Hartnell College begins today for 1 year which offers students the ability to ride free on ALL MST routes at any day or at any time by simply presenting their valid student ID card to the bus driver.

In addition, MST also travels as far south as Paso Robles and Big Sur, and as far north as San Jose, and even offers service to Santa Cruz. The grant to pay for this program is in the amount of $100,000 from the State along with $20,000 matched from Hartnell College.

Taking advantage of the free bus service is not only a money saver; it’s convenient. Riding the bus has never been easier! Providing his thoughts, Dr. Willard Lewallen, Superintendent/President of the Hartnell Community College District shared, "We are extremely grateful to the MST Board and administration for their leadership and vision in supporting Hartnell students. This tremendous benefit will not only allow our students to ride MST buses at no cost to and from our campuses, but also to travel to work and explore all that Monterey County has to offer."
