Starting Monday, June 1, fares will be reinstated for all Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority services. However, the transit agency is extending its fare-free program through June for those experiencing unemployment during the pandemic, as long as they apply for a special Workforce Aid Pass. According to Capital Metro, “The new Workforce Aid Pass program will enable customers looking for work to use transit without worrying about the costs associated with a CapMetro pass. Anyone who is currently unemployed and has received a letter or email to receive unemployment benefits from the Texas Workforce Commission is eligible.” Find out how to obtain a Workforce Aid Pass here. The pass will be valid for the month of June.
