Through May 23, 1999, SSU students, faculty and staff looking for a very unique deal need look no further. This semester Sonoma County Transit (SCT) is offering free bus rides to every Sonoma State University student, faculty and staff member. And there are no strings, no tricks, and no hidden costs. All that is needed is a current SSU ID card (current means that it has a Spring 1999 sticker).
The program is being paid for through a Bay Area Air Quality Management District grant to Sonoma County Transit in an effort to clean the air, reduce traffic and assist SSU which, due to construction, is facing some traffic and parking challenges.
The free rides program does not include rides originating with Santa Rosa City or Petaluma Transit City buses, but is valid with all SCT routes at all times, countywide. Riders may go to Petaluma, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, the Russian River Area, Sebastopol, Guernville, Monte Rio, Sonoma, Windsor, Forestville and the Sonoma County Airport. Two
express routes are in place from Santa Rosa and Sebastopol to and from SSU.
Traveling to San Francisco is easy when riders transfer from Sonoma County Transit to Golden Gate Transit. Thereís also late night service to and from SSU.
The bus stop at SSU is at the Information Booth near the main entrance to the university. Schedules are available at the Information Booth, the Housing Office, the Student Union, and locations throughout campus. For more information call 576-7433 or 1(800) 345-7433.
