Lawrence Transit passengers can ride fare-free in 2023, starting Monday, Jan. 2. The yearlong, fare-free pilot program is supported by state and federal transit funds and sales tax revenue. It applies to fixed-route buses, T Lift, Night Line, and future Sunday microtransit. To be clear, “This means anyone can use any of the Lawrence Transit services for free throughout all of 2023,” according to a recent news release from the city. In other communities, fare-free programs have resulted in ridership increases of 20% to 60%, according to the city.
