The CCRTA Board of Directors is proud to announce that every student using our system can now ride fare-free with a student ID, beginning September 1. Our community’s future generations will now be able to utilize our system to get where they need to go and have one less barrier on their path toward success,” stated Dan Leyendecker, CCRTA Board Chair.
