Several government, business and community leaders will ride HART bus routes as part of Baycare Behavioral Health Systems "New Freedom" Legislative Transportation Awareness Days, taking place May 25, 27 and 31. The purpose of the New Freedom Grant is to educate leaders on the viability and accessibility of HART, as well as the challenges facing public transit riders. The grant also affords Baycare with the resources to provide travel training on how the community can use HART to receive medical care, maintain employment and improve quality of life.
Participants and their guests will receive no special accommodations and they will purchase their own bus fares.
