WASHINGTON RIDES IS CHANGING THE WAY WE CALCULATE FARES!

BEGINNING MAY 1, WE ARE SWITCHING FROM OUR OLD WAY (GRIDS)

TO A NEW WAY BASED ONSTREET MILEAGE**

** -- By the most direct route – NOT how far you ride on the van!

WE ARE NOT RAISING FARES – OVERALL, WE EXPECT THAT FARES WILL STAY ABOUT THE SAME.

YOUR FARE MAY GO UP OR DOWN, BUT PROBABLY NOT BY MUCH.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL
