Great Barrington, Mass. (July 24, 2024) – A grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation will enable the TriTown Connector transit program to maintain limited late-night service and certain fare-free rides through June 2025.
Fare-free late-night ride service on Fridays will run until 11:30 p.m year-round.
Unlimited free rides for Veterans are extended through June 2025, with the exception of Pittsfield medical rides.
In addition, free rides will continue for seniors + persons with disabilities needing transportation to local food pantries and free meal sites, including People’s Pantry, Berkshire South Community Center Monday suppers, and Great Barrington and Sheffield farmer’s markets.
"On behalf of the hundreds of South County community members served by the TriTown Connector, we thank Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation for their generous support, which will allow us to continue these three impactful initiatives," says Tate Coleman, Program Director of the TriTown Connector.
The TriTown transit service operates seven days per week throughout Great Barrington and neighboring South County towns.
