MST OFFERS FREE DAY PASS FOR GETTING VACCINATED

Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) will provide a FREE Day Pass to those who receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

MST recognizes the importance of everyone getting vaccinated in the recovery of our community. Like wearing a face covering, washing hands often, and not gathering in large groups, the vaccine is another layer of protection against the virus. MST also recognizes that for some, transportation to a vaccination clinic can be a challenge. Service on existing fixed routes is available to most vaccination clinic locations, and to further encourage members of the community to get out and get vaccinated, MST is providing a free Day Pass to anyone, just for getting their shot!

Individuals simply present their COVID-19 vaccination card to an MST Customer Service Representative at any of its customer service window locations (Salinas Transit Center, Marina Transit Exchange, Monterey Transit Plaza) to be eligible to receive a free Day Pass to use at any time. Passes are available for each dose received.

For more information, visit mst.org or call Monterey-Salinas Transit toll free at 1-888-MST-BUS1 (1-888-678-2871). For RealTime bus arrival information, text “Next” and your four-digit bus stop ID (example, “Next 9103”) to 25370, call 1-888-MST-BUS1 with your four-digit bus stop ID, download the free Transit App, or use Google Maps.
