MCRide Transportation

02/04/2022

For many people, public transit is the only viable transportation option.

Without it, they are unable to get to work, school, doctors appointments and more. To deny people access to the ability to simply get where they need to go is unjust and demands action.

If you’re ready to help end transit inequity, join thousands of others TODAY, February 4th, at a Transit Equity Day event near you. Find an action here: bit.ly/2020TED. Can’t make it to a event but still want to be involved digitally?

Please be aware that MCRide vehicles will have increased capacity this summer but masks will still be required at all times. Please contact staff with any questions.

We ask that all of our riders continue wearing a mask on MCRide vehicles. Failure to comply may result in denial of boarding or removal from the vehicle.

Pace will also notify passengers about this law by posting signage on vehicles and at facilities and through audio messaging. These regulations are in effect until at least September 13, 2021.

While the CDC offered new guidance about masks for fully vaccinated individuals, that guidance continues to require masks on public transportation, including all buses. All Pace riders are still required to wear a mask while onboard or at Pace facilities.
