In honor of California Clean Air Day, Riverside Transit Agency is offering free rides Wednesday, October 4, 2023. Join us in supporting California Clean Air Day by leaving your vehicle at home and riding RTA. Free rides will be available on all local, CommuterLink and GoMicro buses and we encourage you to make the climate friendly choice by riding public transit when commuting to work, school or running errands.

The California Clean Air Day goal is to spread the message throughout California about air pollution and how it directly impacts all Californians’ health. Everyone is directly affected by air pollution and the best way to improve air quality on a daily basis is to drive less and use public transit. Cars, light duty trucks, and other vehicles are the biggest source of air pollution. California suffers from some of the worst air quality in the country. Collectively we have the power to change the air quality in Riverside County and beyond.

Join us in challenging yourself to create clean air in your community by taking the Clean Air Pledge! The Clean Air Pledge includes the most common things an individual can do to clear the air, including riding public transit. RTA natural gas buses are a clean alternative to driving your personal vehicle. Use the RTA GoMobile app or go online to use the Transit Trip Planner to plan your trip today.

If you have the GoMobile app, the Fare Free Friday pass has been added to your wallet. Don't have GoMobile? Download the app today and your free pass will be there. 

College students enrolled in the Go-Pass and U-Pass programs will continue to use their free college pass. Partners include California Baptist University, La Sierra University, Moreno Valley College, Mt. San Jacinto College, Norco College, Riverside City College and UC Riverside.

GoMobile is the Riverside Transit Agency official transit app and your partner for riding the bus. GoMobile is an all-in-one mobile app where you can plan your trip, view estimated bus arrival times, get service alerts, buy passes and pay your fare on your phone.
