Starting Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023, Fare Free Iowa City is bringing free rides to everyone on Iowa City transit!
Fare Free Iowa City is a two-year pilot program that means every ride on Iowa City buses is free for everyone.
If you are a current Iowa City Transit rider, just hop aboard! No transit passes or pocket change needed. If you have a 31-day, 10-ride, single-ride, or 24-hour pass, you will want to use those up prior to August 1.
If you are new to Iowa City Transit, welcome aboard! Now is a great time to give it a try. Here are a few things you can do to get familiar with the system before taking your first ride:
- Download the Transit app to plan your ride, get predicted arrival times, or get real-time updates on bus location on your phone. Just type in your destination and the app will give you a few route options to get there.
- Review the City’s digital map of all routes and stops.
- Visit icgov.org/busschedules to learn about the City's 13 different bus routes.
- Visit icareatransit.org to explore the metro area transit system.
- Reach out to 319-356-5151 or ICTransit@iowa-city.org for trip-planning assistance.
The move also goes hand-in-hand with our Climate Action goals of reducing carbon emissions by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, then achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve these goals, Iowa City Transit has a goal of doubling ridership and enabling a shift of 55% of vehicle trips to more sustainable modes of transportation such as transit.
