TARC announces teen summer passes, new route along Louisville Loop

The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) has Summer Youth Pass for $30. The passes provide unlimited rides for anyone aged 6-17 on TARC bus routes all summer long. It is a great way for young people to access jobs and destinations throughout Greater Louisville while building self confidence and self reliance, important skills for lifelong success.

Passes can be purchased at the following locations:

• Union Station. 1000 W. Broadway
• Nia Center, 2900 W. Broadway
• All Fifth Third banks
• Louisville Free Public Library, Third and York streets

Online at http://www.ridetarc.org/

By mail by sending a check or money order for $30, with your name, address and phone number, to: SUMMER YOUTH PASS; c/o TARC cashier; 1000 W. Broadway, Louisville, KY 40203

In addition, TARC's "Loop to the Loop" bus route began Saturday connecting neighborhoods near downtown and western Louisville with the Louisville Loop recreational trail and other Metro Parks.

The schedule also includes new service on weekends and holidays to Riverview Park on the Louisville Loop via regular buses on Rt. #63-Crums Lane.

The TARC "Loop to the Loop" route is funded through the Communities Putting Prevention to Work federal grant that Louisville Metro received last year to further the work of the Mayor's Healthy Hometown Movement. The route and Riverview Park TARC trips will last for up to a year with $313,000 in grant funds. Regular bus fare of $1.50 will be charged and bus-fare passes will be accepted.
