    Are you overpaying for your ride? 🚍 Switch to Umo and take advantage of fare capping. Once you have paid fares equal to the cost of a Day Pass or Month Pass, no more fare is required to ride for the duration of that day or calendar month. For riders paying the Full Fare rate, that means you're capped at $3.20 for the day and $45.00 for the calendar month. Never more! Ride less? Rest assured that you only pay for what you use ($1.60 per boarding) until you reach the fare cap.

    If it ain't rainin'... it ain't trainin'! Last week, whether rain or shine, Salem Fire Department and Marion County Fire District learned about the nuances of responding to an emergency involving a battery electric bus. Additionally, Salem Fire Department learned about the infrastructure at our Operations Headquarters and some considerations for emergency response at that location. We are grateful for all of the #firstresponders who participated (nearly 300 total!) and thank you for all you do to keep our community safe. #TeamCherriots #electricvehicle #publictransit #electricbus
