Summer Valley Transit Pass Lets Youth Ride Free All Summer

May 15, 2007

Appleton (May 15, 2007) -- Valley Transit’s Freedom Pass lets kids ages 5 to 18 take unlimited bus rides from June 1 to Aug. 31 for just $35.

Freedom Passes are valid on all Valley Transit buses and the Call-A-Ride service in the Town of Buchanan, Darboy and Town of Harrison areas.  With 16 regular fixed routes, Valley Transit serves most area parks, pools, libraries and shopping centers, which means kids can easily get where they need to go to have fun this summer, said Valley Transit General Manager Deborah Wetter.  “With gas prices so high, it just makes sense for kids to ride the bus all summer long for just $35,” Wetter said. “Riding the bus is economical and easy to do so, we’re hoping lots of kids will take advantage of the Valley Transit Freedom Pass to get where they need to go this summer.”

Bus riders can save $5 if they purchase the Valley Transit Freedom Pass by May 31.

Freedom Passes are available at all Valley Transit outlets, at Valley Transit’s administrative office and by mail at Valley Transit, 801 S. Whitman Ave., Appleton, WI 54914
