Each week in August, you ride a different route free! METRO picks the route and you ride free*. Sounds fair, right? Actually, it’s NO fare!
*Some restrictions apply, of course. Please visit akronmetro.org for details.
To sweeten the deal, local radio station WKDD 98.1 will host a live radio remote to kick off each free fare week. Come the live radio broadcast to learn about that week’s free route and take a spin on WKDD's Prize Wheel!
