Celebrate a major milestone in regional transit!

TAP into Transit Day marks the official launch of GRTC’s new 60-foot articulated Pulse buses and the debut of our Transit Access Partnership (TAP), a collaborative effort focused on keeping transit zero fare and accessible for all.

This community-driven event will bring together regional leaders, local partners, and GRTC riders to spotlight the impact of public transportation across the region.

What to Expect:

• Ribbon Cutting & First Ride
  Hear from local leaders and regional partners about why transit matters—and how we’re working together to keep it accessible for everyone. The be among the first to step aboard GRTC’s 60-foot articulated bus—built for more riders and faster boarding.
• Interactive Exploration
  Experience how easy it is to move around the region with zero fare. Dive into tools, maps, and resources designed to help you make the most of local transit.
• Ice Cream and Food Trucks
  Enjoy delicious local eats available for purchase from Chiki’s Pancakes, Latin Quarter Kitchen, Basalious Corner Store, and Taquería Panchito. Plus, cool off with free ice cream treats from Gelati Celesti and King of Pops—our treat to you!
• Games, Raffle, Networking & More
  Support fare-free transit by purchasing $2 tickets for our fundraising raffle and win great prizes donated by local businesses. Play games like cornhole and Four in a Row, connect with fellow supporters, and check out partner booths in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
