Greater Milwaukee Foundation to make transit free in four counties on April 28
Gift to the Community includes systems in Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee and Milwaukee counties.
Public transportation across four counties will be free for an entire day as the Greater Milwaukee Foundation presents its next centennial Gift to the Community.
Transit systems throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties will offer
rides at no cost on Tuesday, April 28, during their respective operating hours.
All year long, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation is providing Gifts to the Community to showcase
resources that contribute to greater Milwaukee’s vitality. April’s gift recognizes the value of transit
to the region’s economy and quality of life
“Through this gift, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation is once again showing why their work is so
important to our community,” said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. “Tens of thousands of
people rely on transit every day to get to work and school, to run errands and to explore their
community. This gift is a unique opportunity for more people to experience the ease of public
transportation and see why it is so important to our community.”
