The Clallam Transit System governing board has authorized a day of free fixed-route, dial-a-ride, and paratransit service to celebrate a “Try Transit” week of events which coincided with the system’s 35-year service anniversary on Oct. 13.

Clallam Transit is offering free fixed-route and dial-a-ride and paratransit service on Saturday, Oct. 17, to recognize its 35 years of providing public transportation to the people and connecting the communities of the North Olympic Peninsula. The free service is to thank riding passengers and to entice new riders to try the system’s services.
