Since starting its free rides for students program in June, Snoqualmie Valley Transportation has completed more than 1,100 trips for local schools’ students. That’s 1,100-plus trips to the lake, to skate parks and to other neighborhoods that parents didn’t have to make, and that the SVT buses were going by every day, anyway.
Freeing up parents’ time and increasing bus ridership, as well as exposing more young people to public transportation, were the goals successfully accomplished in SVT’s first “Summer Freedom” campaign.
