Ozone season is here, and that means it’s a great time to take advantage of programs that help reduce air pollution. And the best part? These program help save Weld County residents money. Whether it’s hopping on a free bus ride, switching to electric lawn tools or upgrading to an e-bike, these incentives are designed to support cleaner air for everyone.

Ride Free All Summer with GET

From June 1 to August 31, Greeley Evans Transit (GET) is offering free rides on all services and routes including Poudre Express, Paratransit and UCHealth Call-N-Ride. Riders who are 18 year old and under, along with UNC and CSU students, always ride free.
