On Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, OCTA will offer free rides on OC Bus.
OC Bus is a safe and convenient way to get to work, school, the beach and to many other destinations in Orange County. By offering free rides on Earth Day, more people in Orange County will have the opportunity to try the service while easing traffic congestion and helping Orange County’s air quality.
Choosing to take public transportation instead of driving helps reduce pollution by taking cars off the road. In addition, OCTA is working to convert its entire bus fleet to 100% zero-emission by 2040.
OCTA’s commitment to environmental sustainability and stewardship goes beyond Earth Day and is prioritized in OCTA’s Board and CEO Initiatives. OCTA uses funding from OC Go, the county’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, to protect Orange County’s natural resources by funding projects that capture transportation-related pollution and improve water quality.
