Do you ride the bus or take Link Light Rail, or a commuter train? Do you ever take a ferry or share the ride in a  vanpool,  water taxi, or streetcar? If so, you are taking a form of transit and this coming June we’re partnering with Transportation Choices in celebrating Ride Transit Month, a dedicated month where transit riders come together and celebrate all things transit; like. Whether you ride everyday or on occasion, if you are a new rider or a veteran rider, we’re all in this together, literally!
