Visitors heading to Hot August Nights will have another transportation option as the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County (RTC) offers free rides on several routes during the event.
The free service will be available August 4-9 on the RAPID Virginia Line, RAPID Lincoln Line and Routes 1, 7 and 11.
RTC ACCESS customers can also ride free to Hot August Nights event locations on those dates.
The program is designed to give residents and visitors another way to reach the event without worrying about downtown parking or congestion. RTC said the service is part of its ongoing effort to reduce traffic congestion during major community events.
"Why not show up in style in a $1 million vehicle?" said Alex Cruz, senior transit planner for RTC Washoe. "Free rides mean more people can enjoy Hot August Nights without circling for parking or sitting in traffic."
Riders can find route information, trip planning tools and real-time transit information at RTCWashoe.com or through the Transit App. RTC also encouraged riders to follow @RTCWashoe on social media for service updates.
