There is still time to give Metro Transit input on proposed fare changes—including simpler pricing, expanded $1 youth fares (up to age 18), and capped daily/monthly costs to make transit more affordable.

Before anything is finalized, they want to hear from the people who actually ride (or would ride).

💬 Public comments are open now through May 26
