Fare-Free Week on STS May 25-31

Riders of the St. Mary’s Transit System will enjoy fare-free rides from Sunday, May 25, through Saturday, May 31, 2025. The special promotion is being offered in honor of National Transportation Week.

The fare-free week aims to raise awareness of the role public transportation plays in connecting residents to employment, education, health care, and essential services, while also encouraging more community members to explore the convenience and value of STS.

“Public transportation is a vital service that helps keep our community connected and supports local economic growth,” said St. Mary’s County Commissioner President Randy Guy. “The commissioners continue to evaluate ways to make STS more accessible for all, including the possibility of launching a fare-free pilot program in the next fiscal year.”

Allison Swint, county Department of Public Works & Transportation deputy director of transportation, expressed appreciation for both transit users and staff. “We’re grateful for our team members who work every day to keep our buses running smoothly and safely. We also thank our riders — your support keeps this service strong and community-focused,” she said.
